Yes the photo was very large but the lady explained it was her first
attempt at sending one. It was a very pretty iris BTW. Perhaps it
would be better to just point out that the picture needed to be resized? I
suspect it was scanned which usually makes the picture too large and then
it has to be edited. I agree with Catherine, if the picture is too small
to see detail it's just as much a waste of time. Pearl

[iris-photos] What's blooming
Harold,
In spite of your plea, big emails are
still gonna happen. There's junk mail
out there thats half a meg...
Don't know what you use to read email but most
decent ones have an
option setting where you can skip any that are over a
certain size
(you pick the size). Some will even send you just the headers
and let
you delete it without downloading it. This might be a good option for
you.
In my case I HATE the teeny tiny pics that come up one
inch by inch or
smaller. I can't see any detail and they almost aren't
worth the effort to
open. And my eyesight just seems to keep getting
worse.... I really LIKE the
big ones... So no, I can't say that I
would agree with you on this one. Maybe
we need two iris-photos
lists!

> I saved the "what's blooming" file just to
see what my software said about
the file. I use Outlook Express and
the image was so large that it was
meaningless. According to Picture
Publisher the size was 20" x 15" at 72 dpi
and a file size of 630K. I
am in the boondocks telephone service wise and
limited to 44k bps. It
seemed to take forever to receive the file. I receive
business emails
on the same computer and have to wait through the big files
to see if
there is a business one in the batch. The big ones always seem to
be 1
or 2 in the batch. Since this group is just for viewing pleasure, as a
personal favor I would like to request that any email be limited to a
total
of 300k or less. I don't think any of us need large files. File
size can
easily be controled by cropping, using 72 to 75 dpi,
significant jpg
compression and an image size that fits a normal email
viewer. Most systems
will have some type of image editing capability
that can achieve these
objectives in just a couple of minutes.
Mastering simple image editing is not
all that difficult. I know that
I am not the only one out there who feels
this way.
