picture problems

[packman 0]

having trouble figuring out how to make a pic with less bytes. 24KB is what i got off the cam and has to be less than 9.77KB to post a pic on here. can someone give me step-by-step instructions on how to do this? Thanks .

my method....

chop the hell out of the pic until it's not what you really wanted to post, but is small enough to fit.

Both my camera and scanner came with editing programs. Did yours?

you probably want to resample or resize it. it will be resized anyway if it's bigger then needed,
but if you resize it yourself, file will definetely be smaller.

Open whatever pic you like in whatever photo editor you have on your computer. Crop the portion of the picture you REALLY like, cutting out all the other stuff around the key subject. Resize the cropped picture down to the usable size (65x85 I think). Save the pic as a JPG and hit save. Most programs will then ask you what degree of resolution you would like; you adjust that with a sliding bar on my program. Save the newly adjusted pic and see how small the file is. If it's still too big, resave it and adjust down the resolution until it's small enough.

Ta-Da!
