Jasmina Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Hello, I'm really not very techy and have some images that I want to post with my thread. I have Picasa on my laptop but cant seem to find any option to reduce the size/resolution. Can you give any top tips? Thanks Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/10948-how-to-reduce-images-to-upload-onto-forum/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Administrator Posted April 20, 2010 Administrator Share Posted April 20, 2010 When you look at a picture in Picasa there is an export button at the bottom, click on that. You will have to experiment with the saving options to make sure they get below the 614k limit.

Marmora Man Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Is it possible to adjust the limit to something greater than 614K? Very few cameras have a setting at less than 1 mega pixel and it's not always possible to edit down to the limit.

Jasmina Posted April 24, 2010 Author Share Posted April 24, 2010 Thanks for your feedback. I googled the question and found the answer. But I'm with Mamora Man as my images looked so much better when larger in size.

Administrator Administrator Posted April 24, 2010 Administrator Share Posted April 24, 2010 Unfortunately we have to put a limit on the file size as all those files take up lots of space on the server, the files alone stand at an impressive 1Gb of server space. You can certainly get good pictures at that size, in Picasa export try exporting at normal setting and playing with the image dimensions.

ianr Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I've saved Admin's attached pic, 012-1.JPG [554 kb], quickly resized it in Irfanview (free at http://www.irfanview.com/, one of several free packages of the type) to 45% and quarter-size, and saved each as a new file, also in JPEG format. Here are the resized versions.Original: 2200 x 1650 pixels 554 kilobytes45% size: 990 x 743 pixels 94 kilobytes25% size: 550 x 413 pixels 45 kilobytesMy browser even rescaled the original to half-size of its own accord, to fit it all within the screen, but some may not. I doubt that, for most purposes here, uploading anything above a single screen resolution is going to add value, and it's potentially going to make things less easy for anyone using a smaller one. I guess that many users are using 1024 x 768 screen resolutions, and that some may still be using 800 x 600.
