Thread: Compressing Pictures

burn onto a CD and send them by snail mail

Using Photoshop or similar program:
. Save as JPG
.Second window asks for quality setting:-select 2-4 on a scale of 12
.Information should show you the size of new file, for that size file it should compress to 500k-700k
.Quality at receiving end will be good enough to print.

I regularly compress photos for newspapers at the same rate and they print up fine.

Cheers.

when i attached them to my email a box pops up on the right hand side asking if i want to reze the pics, i select small and they sem fine for who is receiving them, two clicks and it all done

don't ask me what version outlook i am using, i do know that i use Office 07

if you have office try MS picture manager that can resize pics for you in about 3 steps, it can do multiple pics too which is handy
