• Question on resizing pictures for posting here
  • I gave up.
    • 100K Limit?
      • Correct, because I linked to my blog.
    • Great shot Dave. You can tell that's hosted at higher res.
      • Blogspot is free.
        • Thanks for the kind words Dave. I'm following your travels BTW. You have had more hassle than I had the whole trip!
        • The cool thing is you bought Driftaway for an apartment....
          • I don't know about smart, but it seemed like a good idea at the time.
            • If you were living in upstate NY you'd be burning more fuel oil tonight anyway.
              • I hear dat.
            • Do you have 220 on the boat?
              • The boat has both 110 and 220.
                • Dave Evans probably has the right hunch... whether or not it's the dock, you probably lost a leg on that connection.
            • Bungee cords, Museum Wax & Mr. Heater.
            • Heater.
    • Keep in mind that some people don't have fast connections...
    • Here's your photo Dave taken and resized for uploading here.
      • Hmmm, after putting two windows up, clicking between your photo and mine,
        • I'm sticking with 1K. You can see the difference when the size is under 1000 kilobytes
          • I can see that fine, but I have a vivid imagination.
  • Max...
    • I use the "Save for Web" option on Photoshop when resizing for this site.
  • Thanks guys, I'll go that route
  • tinypic.com is very good, and free....(hmmmm free is good)
  • There are low cost graphics tools out there...
  • I may be crazy, but I think Phils free photo loader is a good one.
  • Simple really...
  • test
    • Bingo! 900 pixels wide and 98kb. Nice shot Max.
    • You can do better
      • Here it is at 36 kb
        • Here it is at 25.3 KB
          • Here it is at 12k
            • I think we've found 'too small'!
              • Max stick with 98, you lose detail as you make the file smaller.
                • The difference between 98K and 54K is very small though
                  • But you're already below best viewing resolution, so you might as well get all you can.
                    • Tom computer monitors typically are around 100 dpi...
                      • I must have a good screen as I can see the differences.
                        • Tom what you are seeing on the pictures above in increased jpeg compression...
                          • Just do what I did with Daves photo above Todd.
              • How about this version. Less than 5k!
                • less than 3K!!!!
                  • Bingo!!!!! 1K!!!!!!
  • Shrinking pics
