York 30 Show

How do I make some York show pics smaller so I can attach them?

You need an editing program. I've got Adobe Photoshop 5.0 which is good, and has a LOT of features, but I still use the old Paint Shop Pro v3 more than anything. Do you have a program already, or need one?

My Dummies' Guide to Resizing Digital Camera Photos for Posting on the Web:

STEP 1: Copy the photo from your camera to your computer. Double-click the filename to open your photo editor.

STEP 2: Find the menu command to RESIZE the photo. Change the picture's width to, say, 800 pixels. Don't worry about height.

STEP 3: Find the "Save As..." command under the File menu. There should be a compression setting there--pick HIGH compression for smallest file or MEDIUM compression for better picture quality. Press Enter to save the file under a new name (preferred), or the same name as before.

The file you created in Step 3 is the one you want to post on a website or email to others.


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
- RESIZE THE PICTURE TO NO MORE THAN 800 PIXELS WIDE
- "SAVE AS" A NEW FILE, USING MEDIUM TO HIGH COMPRESSION
- SHARE THE NEW FILE WITH OTHERS


If you follow these instructions, a typical 360K digital photo will shrink down to 30-50K (depending on compression you pick) with no appreciable degradation in picture quality. That's a 90% savings. Whoopee!

Hmmm... what if the pictures were regular stills that I scanned in as JPEG's?

Same procedure. Double click to open, set desired width, save with compression.
