Alright,
here is one way to do it that I found worked. 1--Open the picture with MSPaint (windows version 7) 2--Click on the upper menu to resize the image 3--Click on Pixels and maintain ratio should be checked 4--In the upper portion of the pixels, remove whatever number is in there and type 640...the lower one should go to 480 automatically if you left ratio checked. 5--Save AS a gif file (accept the "error" and warning that you will lose resolution) 6-using Save As again, go save the same pic as a JPG file. (you are now re-saving the GIF file, not the original JPG file, so rename it) I was able to take a 1.7 meg pic and reduce it to 133kb by doing that process. I will try PNG to see if that works also.

I tried leaving the file at the same size and saving as a PNG which resulted in increasing the file size to 3.8 Megs.
I then tried the identical process as above but instead of saving as a GIF, I saved it as a PNG, but smaller. That resulted in the file size of 806kb. So, that process does not comply with our 500k size limit per post. Rich |

gifs are good for logos graphic images because their file size is based on # of colors used. Jpgs are the ideal format for photos with filesize in mind... until WebP becomes more common at least.

Rich,
This topic came up awhile back, and someone suggested this: http://prish-image-resizer.software.informer.com/ I have found it to be simple like the power toys for my old XP, and have not had any issues with it over the last year. It has to be simple or I won't figure it out.... I miss my XP (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

I amazes me how stuff like this is still so complicated.
Here is a tool a wrote about a year ago that I'm been meaning to add some more features to, but it works pretty well as-is. If you want to try it, go for it and let me know how it works. http://diomedestorage.com/downloads.aspx#uploader Once you've created an account and have the application running, you just select your photos and press SHIFT-CTRL-C (like CTRL-C/copy but with the SHIFT key too). It will: (a) resize the images (set under Options->Resize Images), ((IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif) upload them to a server (Diomede Storage), © and copy the new links to your clipboard. Then you can just paste the links anywhere (like here). For example: http://dio314.diomedestorage.com/dl/TYF6TN...VA/IMG_0889.JPG Or wrap that URL in tags like this: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/dio314.diomedestorage.com-654-1292540469.1.JPG) -Steve |

Prish resizer. Just right click on your image, same as in XP.
