Compressing pics
 
Can anyone give me a quick lesson on shrinking pics.
I have some new pics of the Cobra in its new home, but I took these with the camera from work (and didnt change the pic size) so now they are way too big to fit on the CC picture gallery.
I have squashed one in paint but it has come out very rough.

Have you got any photo editing software like Photo Shop of Microsoft Photo Editor? The later is part of the Microsoft Office package.

If you like I can shrink them down without losing quality. Just email them through to me.

Cheers

Good Free Photo Editing Package
 
Hi Guys,

A really good photo editing software package that is free is called "The Gimp" (weird name, but works pretty good).

The link is here -> http://www.gimp.org/

For anyone who may be interested, or does not already have a package as they can be quite expensive.

Cheers

One of the easiest ways to do this is with Microsoft Image Resizer Powertoy add-on.

Click here to download Image Resizer Powertoy

It adds a "Resize Pictures" menu entry when you right-click on image files. Just select this and it pops up a window with resize options.

Very easy to use and works extremely well for quick and easy resizing.

Shrinking Pics.
 
Boxhead hope this helps

The easiest way to reduce the size of a pic is to email it to yourself. Select the picture or pictures you want to reduce in size. Highlight the pics and right mouse click the pics. Click send to and then mail recipient. When windows says do you want to make the pics smaller click yes. Type in your email address and when the email hits your email box they will be alot smaller. Save the pics to where you want to save them. If you want them smaller email them to yourself again. Hope this helps.

Hmm, which is easier.

Just joking with you WASP. Never would of thought to email it to myself. :)

E-Mail your pics to Aussie Mike - he will have a way of fabricating them to a smaller size:LOL: :LOL:


Simply open the pic in Microsoft Paint and scew until thy are under 40 MB.

Too easy:p

That's a pretty extreme example. Image resizer seems to come out with a pretty good quality/size ratio.

I resized photos from 6MP camera.

Original file res: 2816x2112 size: approx. 2700kb
Resized res: 800x600 size: approx. 80kb

Works perfectly for me. Just look at those Jaguar XJ13 photos...perfect.

I got an answer from Ron (computerworks) the other day and as can be seen by my update thread I have the software now to do this.
You will see in the main cobra forum Ron posted a link to his site with a program to do it.
It works very well and resized pics is just a click away.
