Guys - can someone help me please - I have reduced an image by custom cropping to get it down to under 100kb so i could attach to the post - how do i get the picture larger but at the same amount of size in kilobytes - also generally which phot packages are the easiest to work with?

Thanks in advance

This is an extremely easy way to resize photos...

Click on the link below to go to Microsoft Power Toys. On the righthand side of the page and down a bit you will see the program Image Resizer exe Download.

This PowerToy enables you to resize one or many image files with a right-click. It is only a 521 KB download.

Just click on it to install.
Then to resize Right Click the photo you wish to reduce and select Resize Picture then select what size from the pop up box. It will then create another smaller copy of that photo in the same folder whilst leaving the original as it is.
For example if the original photo is 1 MEG then on Large = 157KB, on Medium = 109KB, on Small = 77KB, on WinCE = 24KB
Dead simple to use!

Now Phill you're a very naughty boy.

As a silver member, you will no doubt know that this is not the board to post this question, and Steve WILL move it .......but it is the spot where you will get the most reads.......aint it????

Anyhow, naughty boy, I'll give you the answer before Steve moves you along

You have to reduce the resolution, which will be expressed in DPI or pixels in some programs. If you reduce from say 200 DPI to say 150DPI the pic size will almost double.

Or you can just use a free image hoster like http://photobucket.com/ and upload your pics to there, cut and paste the img link straight in and bob's ya aunty.
