MichiganShootist Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I have a number of pictures that I want to up load to the 1911forum (stuff to sell). The majority of these pictures are jpeg files and are in the 500 -800 kb size range. The www site has a size limitation of 100 Kb per picture... so how can I shrink them??? Thanks for any available tips. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvb Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Open pic in MS Paint, which every PC has. Go to Image -> Stretch/Skew and enter the % to shrink by "Save As" a new file. done. -rvb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islandtime Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 For quick resizing I use the free XP power tool Image Resizer. It will take an 3504x2336 (8MP) photo at 2.2MB and resize it to 800x640 at 55.6KB. The link to the download is located below. This will only work on Windows XP. Image Resizer This PowerToy enables you to resize one or many image files with a right-click. Download it Here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/whi...wertoySetup.exe Step by Step Instructions: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/d...eschelman2.mspx Here's an alternative for Vista users: http://pcwizkid.blogspot.com/2008/08/windo...ge-resizer.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Front Man Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I use MS picture manager and take my "For Sale" images down to 320 X 240. FM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajarrel Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I use MS picture manager and take my "For Sale" images down to 320 X 240.FM Same here. Once you've used it a time or three, it becomes super easy. dj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrguar Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I use IRFRAN. The nice thing is, it will do batch resizes based on what ever criteria you provide. Available as a free download from "http://www.irfanview.com/" . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzYooper Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I know that the start of this thread was for a simple way to re-size an image, but if anyone would like to try out more advanced photo editing I would recommend using Gimp. It is very similar to Adobe Photoshop, but it is free. It can be found here: www.gimp.org. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandtime Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 If you are familiar with the layout of photoshop there is a version of GIMP that has the same look and feel. Gimpshop: http://www.gimpshop.com/index.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islandtime Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Thanks for that. I was wondering, I'm pretty comfortable in Photoshop - would what be the advantage of experimenting with Gimp? be I haven't used Gimp as much as Photoshop but it seems to do everything that I'm used to doing in PSCS2. I have it installed on my work laptop because they won't shell out the $$ for a graphics program and will only let me install something thats free or open source. The quality seems to be the same as far as photo editing and basic logo design. For home use, I am thinking of switching to Gimp rather that shelling out the $$$$ for the next version of photoshop.
