Hello,
Last year I incorporated an open source photo album into my website. My digital camera at the quality I selected gives pictures which are roughly 2MB in size. To display these in my photo album I reduced the aspect ratio and the file size decreased a little but the quality decreased enormously. When I view other photo albums, they manage to have good quality, large photos but the file sizes are in the kbs! How are they doing this? How are they compressing while maintaining the quality. Any input would be appreciated |

What format are you saving them in? Converting them to JPEG will reduce the size drastically.

yes they are JPEG. When they come straight off my camera they are 2MB and 1728 x 2304. I would like to reduce size and file size but maintain good quality and aspect ratio

Hello Guys,
I think that when we decrease it dimension at the same extension on the paint brush for example, the quality shall be better and the size shall be lesser it before. Yours sincerely |

My camera saves photos the same way. I use MS Paint to shrink them down.

Dear Jezza,
Also to decrease the size, what about snapshot with print screen key and past it on MS paint. isn't it a good idea?  Yours sincerely, |

The best free photo resizing tool I have used is GIMP. www.gimp.org
GIMP includes everything that a paid for program does. Only it's free.
