Subject: Re: [iris-photos] What's blooming

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   -------Original Message-------   From: i*@yahoogroups.com Date: Wednesday, April 24, 2002 06:54:58 AM To: i*@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [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! cath > 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. > > Harold Peters > Beautiful View Iris Garden > 2048 Hickok Road > El Dorado Hills, CA 95762 > harold@directcon.net  www.beautiful-view-iris.com > -- #-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-# Catherine Button    Network Administrator    cathy@pavcal.com           Phone: 609-518-3700 x4444          Fax: 609-518-3720 My words are mine, and don't reflect the views of my employer.
