Are they RAW images? Try saving them as a PNG, it's a lossless compression, so you don't loose quality, just file size. |

Does anyone know how to save photos in a lower resolution? My camera has 10 megapixels and when I try to send or post my pictures.. the file size is too large. I am also using Picasa. I appreciate the help. |

I use IrfanView to resize/resample my pictures. It's extremely easy to do. Just open the image in IrfanView, go to the Image menu -> Resize/Resample (or just press Ctrl+R if you're in Windows), select the size you want (I recommend 1024x768 or less for forum posting) and be sure "Resample" is checked. Then click "Okay". |

IrfanView has the best optimisation out of applications I've used. Better than Photoshop's as well. File size optimisation that is. Even at 100% JPG quality, the image will be up to twice less in file size than a Photoshop 12-level quality save. |

You just want to make the image smaller... right? If you want to resize and are on a PC, open the picture in MS Paint then press CTRL+W. That takes you to the sizing option. |

ok thanks a lot guys! |

I just resize photos in my default picture editer which is Microsoft Office Picture Manager. Go to Picture > Resize > then you can pick the resolution you want it set at. To post pics on the forum, the 680 x 480 is the best. |
