Picture Imperfect

posted Tuesday, 5 September 2006

So I took a couple of pictures of the purple baby sweater before heading off to Irwin1.  The pictures even came out well.  The problem is that they came out big, and I only have one meg of file space to play around with.  One picture that takes up a quarter of my file space is just not happening.  I must find out how to make the pictures smaller before I post them...

1: The sweater was, fortunately, very well-received and I was not forced to strangle my childhood friend.  Not to imply Em's ungrateful; it's just always a little bit of a toss-up when you make something for a person who doesn't do handwork themselves, because they don't generally have much of an idea how much work it takes to do even fairly quick, simple things like a baby sweater.

If you change the size (pixels or inches) or resolution of the pictures, that should change the size. I know how to do it in LJs interface and in Photoshop. I can't imagine that there aren't a ton of programs that can do it. Possibly even something as simple as Paint.

Paint tends to inflate things--welcome to Microsoft. But I'm sure I can dig something up, it's just a matter of learning a new thing.
