I have used several different programs to try to get small enough for avatars and just tried Irfanview. I can make them so small you can't even tell what they are anymore and it will still say toooo big......Must be me, cause everyone else seems to be able to do it. Finally it is small enough, but it says can't be btmp. I used to know how to change to btmp to jpg, it was in an old program to mail pics that I don't have anymore? Is there another way.
Thx

Heres another simple one for you. Anyone who has microsoft powerpoint, usually installed with microsoft office suite, it only takes a few clicks of the mouse. Open a new blank presentation, go to tools, insert image, grab the corner of the image and fit it into the blank slide. "Save as" the file as a jpeg file interchange format. Done.

Also can do as many files at a time as you wish and when you "save as" it does them all at once.

Usually shrinks the file by 75-90%, and it always opens up to a decent size when people click on your pic.

Heres the simplest one yet.....i cant believe i never used it before. For anyone using outlook express.......right click on the picture you want to shrink.........mail to..............mail it to yourslef and it will ask you if you want outlook to shrink it or send it original....click shrink.......sned....walla....done

I use on online host
www.fotopic.net
if you want an avatar you just back click on the thumbnail, click properties, and copy/paste the url and bang! There's your avatar. It gives you 250mg of space (er, I think that's right). Click on the link in my sig to see my gallery and see what I mean!

I have written a small utility to resize all your pics in a folder at one time. see PREP'ING PICTURES in the general discussion area.

[TeakieBarber]

Windows>Accessories>Paint. Maximize the Paint Program, open your picture, click Image>Stretch/Skew. Use the same number for horizontal/vertical. The smaller the number, the more it is reduced. I usually start at 50/50 and work from there. Piece of cake, once you do it a few times - use the short cut key Ctrl+W.

Image>Attributes will give you the file size and pixels.

WYSIWYG.

Send me a email at r6413utah@yahoo.com I have written a program that all you have to do is selct the folder where the pics are and it will resize all of them for you to either 400 Aspect ratio, 800 X Aspect ratio, 1200 X aspect ratio, mass change the gamma up or down by one step or mass convert BMP(s) to JPG(s). I am still working on a prettier version.

I use photoshop. There is an option for image size. I usually make the photo 30% of the orginal size then I use the save for web option.

This image is only 85378 bytes
