Official Luthiers Forum!

How do I reduce the size of a picture? My pic is 928kb, and I am only allowed 150. What do I do? I have a Nikon Coolpix L4 camera.

Irfanview

Quick easy and free...

Install it, open your file, select the pic hit "image" and then resize image and save it. Rinse repeat.

The pics I just uploaded here

Are taken on a Nikon Coolpix3200 and saved at 800x600

Good luck

Jeff,

We have discussed this a couple of times in the past few months and here are two of the archives.

#1

#2

#1 has a link to the microsoft resizer which I use. I like it because it is very quick and easy and you can do multiple picktures at a time, also you can do a copy of the original in the smaller format.

Anyway, hope this helps too.

Jeff:

Hey guy, what's up? You can also use a shareware called Easy Thumbnails. Works perfectly, and brings photos down to a very usuable level.

Just got a new camera myself. Congrats. Let's hook up again soon. Loved the new Reso!

BTW, with the Microsoft resizer, you'll download and install it but you won't be able to find it anywhere in your files. It is there, however. Just right-click on a picture and it'll give you resizing options. Don't panic as I, and others, did!
