andrusk Posted May 8, 2004 Posted May 8, 2004 I know MS office and outlook have an option that will resize the photo to a different resolution. But it would also make your photo physically quite smaller. Congrats on figuring it out And btw. You live in a cabin or something? Man thats a lot of wood...

bishop245 Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 the way i do it is just import it to ms paint then save it as a .jpeg file Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 (edited) For Andrus- I was a carpenter in another phase of my life... For Bishop-does importing and saving as.jpeg automatically make it smaller? Is this just MS Paint or other photo programs too? . Edited May 9, 2004 by Phil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrusk Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 yeah hes talking about ms paint. I do that as well most of the time. But sometimes converting it to a .jpeg in paint will still not make it small enough. Also, if you convert with save for web in photoshop, it will look a lot better than if you convert it with paint. And it doesnt make the picture resolution wise smaller, but as far as color data, quite a bit smaller. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 Andrusk...sounds like a good Photoshop edition is somewhat necessary for doing any of this stuff... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrusk Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 ^ Hit it right on the head. Or... You could always download the GIMP. Just as many features as photoshop but its free and open source. You should give it a try. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 (edited) I recently ran across where someone provided a link to the Gimp. Dumb question, but this is safe to download, right? My wife would kill me if I did something to infect "her" computer, and I'm not yet saavy enough to really keep myself out of trouble. On another note, this whole discussion got me going, so I went into my start file for a deeper look and found bundled in with MS Office 2003 a program called "MS Office Picture Manager". This seems to quite easily resize pics for the web. Anybody have any thoughts on this? Flamer_Jut mentioned Fireworks MX, anybody else use this?

Propane Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 yea... its a program under the GPL... you wont have any problems with it I uninstalled that POS... It always seemed to not work to me and would open pics when I double clicked on the... not what I wanted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrusk Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 Yeah man, GIMP is really safe to download. Just make sure you get the windows port of it. It is made for linux, but they have a windows port as well. I have picture manager, but dont use it, seeing as how i have photoshop. I have fireworks too. Dont use it either. I heard its rather good though.
