resizing images

reverend trips · 03-31-05, 19:22

i just cannot seem to be able to post a picture for the life of me

i am borrowing a digital camara from a buddy and i don't have the software that came with it.
i think that my pics may be too large but i'm not sure.
averaging 500KB
is that too big?
if so,what would be a good program to resize them and how big should they be?
sure would like to get this figured out.
thanks in advance.

JPEG Resizer Home

JPEG Resizer is a powerful tool for Microsoft Windows which allows you to resize lots of JPEGs with just a few clicks.

It's packed with various advanced features such as Anti-Aliasing, Colorization and selectable JPEG Compression Factor. You can choose between four different resizing methods, specify how resized JPEGs should be named and where they should be stored.

If you shot photos with a digital camera at a resolution that is too high for presenting your photos on the internet, you need to resize them. JPEG Resizer makes this jobs quite easy as you don't need to resize each single image for itself.

You can probably also adjust pic size on the camera.

vbulletin has a file limit of 2 meg

CoyoteMesc · 01-28-07, 21:21

it was a bmp file and 527kbs, and thats to large for what ever reason. I couldn't crop a bmp file cause what ever reason. So Mermaidia's laptop has a program to change the file type.
We changed it to a jpeg. With that we could edit it. Bmp files are limited to I think 200 or so kbs. ol' well I got it thx Topia..

Nice lookin' Coyote eh?
