Guest JudgeMental Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 My new camera produces BIG images. they can be over 3.0 Mb max on here is a miserly 100kb If I import into Paint I get the choice of reducing it from 100 question is: is there a formula to do a math equation to reduce all images to 100Kb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B. Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 If you open picture with Microsoft office picture manager, (right click on photo, scroll down to 'open with' then pick MOPM) go to 'picture' on tool bar, click and it will give a drop down menu, click on 'resize' and it will give you lots of set sizes plus custom zoom. If you want to post one on here pick 'small email' size then ok then save as 'xxx' and you will have a copy but in very small size suitable for on line posting Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laimeduck Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Or you can use freeware called irfanview. http://www.irfanview.net/ simply re-size the picture choosing size 680x400pixels which is about 100kb then save as a new filename. Quite a powerful little programme, Irfanview, with alot of useful features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lennyhb Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I assume you are using jpeg, jpeg's ignore the any white in the picture so the file size can vary enormously depending on white content. Assuming you are using true colour (16.8 million colours), there is no white in the picture, each pixel will be 24 bits, armed with that information you can now work it out. :D I usually use Google's Picasa for resizing I use the "Export" feature I find selecting 400 or 420 pixels normally brings them under the magic 100k.

Mel B Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Eddie - have you got Microsoft Office Picture Manager on your PC? If so, if you use this to open your picture: 1. Make a COPY of your picture and then RIGHT click on the COPY 2. Select OPEN WITH 3. Click on MICROSOFT OFFICE PICTURE MANAGER (MOPM) * 4. On the TOOLBAR click on PICTURE then COMPRESS PICTURE 5. You then get a choice: - Don't compress / Documents / Web pages / E-mail messages 6. Click on WEB PAGES - the Estimate Total Size at the bottom right will tell you what the original size is and what the compressed size will be - for 3mb you should just come in under the 100kb mark. 7. Click on OK. (* You can set it as your default viewer by replacing 3. above with CHOOSE DEFAULT PROGRAM and follow the instructions on screen, then every time you open a picture in the future it will show it in MOPM.)
