Re: REB: unknown bicolor again

In photoshop, (depends on which version)  you  may have a "Save For 
Web"  button which  works very well to reduce amount of details. The 
moniters can't show the amount of detail tht is contained in the file 
so cutting down this information doesn't have much of an effect on the 
quality of the picture.
If you change pixtal  size (dpi) to 72 dpi, you can then  resize the 
picture to what size it is on screen. When saving for web (in either PS 
or PS for Web,  there is a quality button. By reducing the quality you 
reduce size. A photo with many colour shadings may need to be set in a 
higher quality. Most photos can be reduced in quality and the 
information lost doesn't much effect how the photo looks on the 
moniter. I have been able to reduce some photos that are 4"square to 
under 16 k. For examples, go to my website <www.chapmaniris.com> . Most 
of these photos are under 20k (believe it)  and quality is still great. 
It does take a little practice but most 6"photos can be reduced to 50k 
or less and still give all the details on the screen that you can see 
on a moniter screen, regardless of the quality of the screen

   As one who has often transgressed by sending too-large photos, I have 
tried hard to find a way to reduce size and keep quality. So far, I 
think I have found the key to keeping some amount of detail while 
reducing size. In my case, using PhotoShop, I reduce the dimensions of 
the photo, rather than the pixels, i.e., when using the Resize feature, 
I reduce the document size (inches x inches) of the photo by whatever 
percentage it takes to get the photo down to between 50 and 100kb, but 
leave the pixel dimensions alone. I'm attaching to this message a photo 
which was originally 438kb, but is now -- at least at the point of 
sending (heaven knows what the cybergremlins may do to it enroute) -- 
60.4kb. (This takes some experimentation and getting used to, since 
PhotoShop shows this document's dimensions, for instance, as 2.8" x 3", 
and reducing it by 50% drops it to 1.4" x 1.5", seemingly 
thumbnail-size, but it actually ends up about 4 1/2" x 4 3/4" on the 
screen.)

  Next, (brace yourselves, fellow dial-uppers), I'm going to send the 
original at 438kb. I have deliberately chosen a flower with delicate 
shadings -- and even a guest aboard -- so the difference between the 
two versions can be seen. If someone can reduce photos and keep better 
quality, I would welcome learning how to do it. I've seen some pretty 
good-looking ones here on our list that are under 100 kb, but still as 
much as 4x4" on the screen, but don't know how it was done. Maybe 
someone will tell us. Meantime, I, too, feel bad about having to send 
photos which by their small size obscure lots of beauty. -- Griff

 Isn't it just easier to send the picture if someone wants it directly?

Keith,

I think Dana was referring to the often sited restriction of this 
photos list. While I TOTALLY agree with you and wish all the photos 
were large enough to actually see, it is meant to be kind to the folks 
who only have low speed internet access.

Although you do give me an idea. It seems a shame to punish what is 
likely more than half the members of this list to make all the photos 
shrunken (as well as the extra time to do so). Why not a solution that 
works for everyone? We have the technology! Why couldn't the list be 
like one of the photo sites where folks send all their photos there and 
a notice with a thumbnail (larger than most thumbnails but still just a 
few bytes) goes out to all. Then those who choose to can click on the 
thumbnail and view (or download) the big pic...

That might not be the only solution either. But if we have 670 list 
members, maybe the first thing that should be done is to find out just 
what percentage don't have hi-speed connections. Maybe the simplest 
solution would be to increase the minimum size to something a little 
bit more visible!

Since this list is still on yahoo, they have the capacity to do an 
automated poll even. We could poll everyone and suggest a couple of new 
size limitations - I would suggest 200k limit per email, so if you 
choose to attach more than one, you still don't go way overboard.

Any other ideas? Opinions?

  Just down load, PHOTODEX. COM AND http://www.photodex.com/ get their 
photo library program for 19.99, called COMPUPIC

  . IT is great. Once loaded and installed. Right click on a photo , 
save it and it automaticallly resizes it for you. I like that large 
photos so i can see them . Thanks David for leaving them large... Dana, 
you will be glad you did get the program.

  David,

   I hate to be picky but your pictures are huge and take a lonnnng time 
to download on my dial up email. They are beautiful and I love seeing 
them but please, compress them down to about 50 kb.



 Thanks,



 Dana
