Good Memories

[Randy B]

So, to return to the earlier theme of the thread, I downloaded j3gq's large image and resized it to an image 800 x 577 pixels to see what would happen when I uploaded it to the forum. It's lost a fair bit of resolution, but it is not so large on the screen.

Likewise, I took Randy B's photo (taken apparently with a Nikon D610) and reduced it to 800 pixels across. It seems to fit OK too.

It seems to me there are two challenges for those who don't want to use a photo hosting service: to reduce the file size to less than 250 kb; and to reduce the dimensions of the image in the file to something in the order of 800 pixels or less in width. In this case, reducing Randy B's 6016 x 4016 pixel image to 800 x 534 pixels also reduced the file size to 66 kb.

What program are you using to reduce the image size? Every time I do I either end up with a very small image, or a file that is too large to upload.
