Bru I am working on a plan to achieve that desirable action. I'll email you later with details.Meanwhile:-
OK OK apropos my earlier comments aboot how small the jpeg file that Bruna had originally sent me was.In a subsequent AOL Instant Messaging session we established that it had come from the "email" setting on her camera and she then emailed me what turned out to be a huge bitmap (bmp) "lossless" i.e. raw format version of 3501KB.
I converted the bmp to the jpg compressed "lossy" format using MGI Photosuite which also told me that it was only 1280 by 960 pixels or aboot one megapixel.
the resulting jpeg is only 75KB (76,259 bytes)
but still 1280 by 960 pixels which is far too wide for this forum so I resized it to 800 wide
thereby further reducing the file size (and reducing the dial-up loading time) the file is now only 27KB (27037 bytes)
I noted that the redness (which varies from monitor to monitor I found) may be reduced if required by tinkering with it in any mumber of photo editing programmes as Char has done in a version she emailed me but I seem to have lost:-
and for CD insert use where a squarer image is necesary it may be cropped as I demonstrated previously
cropped then resized to the same 800 width hence file is 32.8KB (33.505 bytes)
In preparing this message I did a bit of research into digital picture file sizes to include in an overal tutorial I am working on, but rather than clutter up this message and be reminded yet again to use the small talk forum, I have started a new topic over there at:-
