Chrono Ideal Rock Total Posts: 11,314 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 4/22/2004	Okay, I need PC help. I have a jpeg picture that I'd like to use as mt Avatar but it is too large at 314 KB. How do I resize it so that it is under the 100 KB max limit?

verticalhorizon Ideal Rock Total Posts: 840 Last Post: 3/24/2006 Member Since: 3/9/2004	If you have a program like Paintshop Pro, Photoshop, or the like... you can resave (or save as...) the picture at a different resolution and compression. The JPG filetype have varying settings for compression. The higher the compression, the smaller the file size, but the grainier the image. The lower the compression, the larger the file size, but the better image. Similarly, the resolution affects file size. 71ppi (pixels per inch) is standard for web graphics, whereas 300ppi is standard for print materials.

Be sure to include the size you need as I will not remember. Wink Wink Jones GG Winfield's/High Performance Diamonds

verticalhorizon Ideal Rock Total Posts: 840 Last Post: 3/24/2006 Member Since: 3/9/2004	Sorry. Adobe has a free program called Photoshop Album. It's for photo organization and quick fixes, but it might work in this case too. It's like Apple's iPhoto. I'm downloading it now to see if it'll work.

Chrono Ideal Rock Total Posts: 11,314 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 4/22/2004	Hey Everyone, Look at my new avatar, courtesy of Katbadness. Didn't she do a wonderful job? Now where is that bowing (kowtow) icon? Thank you Katbadness. Now I won't be able to type answers on PS because I'll be too busy staring at my own avatar. Why don't I just stare at the real thing you say? It's because I don't have it with me; it's being set right now. Boo hoo hoo!

Chrono Ideal Rock Total Posts: 11,314 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 4/22/2004	I'm getting a pair of fat i.e. rounded sapphire trillions from Wink. It's going to be a custom piece because I like my rings set very low on the finger.

Wink Ideal Rock Total Posts: 4,032 Last Post: 11/17/2009 Member Since: 5/4/2001	I have an unfair advantage, I went on vacation in January and Jon is on his now. Also my benchman already has the piece and will start work on Monday... I was teasing a little and would never actually race where a diamond is concerned, the quality of the finished piece is never to be trifled with! Although we did deliver a job in Seattle on Friday that was started on Monday as the "dinner with her folks" is tomorrow! I never got to see the piece, it was delivered straight to him from our designer, but the client says it is perfect. I hate it when time happens like that, but it is nice when you have good people who can handle it! Oh and THANK GOODNESS for Fedex! Wink Wink Jones GG Winfield's/High Performance Diamonds

Regular Guy Ideal Rock Total Posts: 5,316 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 7/7/2004	Nothing like reviving an old discussion. Vertical Horizon, you still there? Anybody...I wonder if any free or readily available applications (like Photoshop Album...I used that one to crop my recent Avatar) allow you the ability to: "resave (or save as...) the picture at a different resolution and compression...." Just seeing what options are available for my Avatar besides Knights, Gremlins and frogs... P.S. Hope many of you are off and enjoying the holiday season. With best wishes, Ira (Ruffles have Ridges) Z. ____________ If you're looking for diamond shopping tips...this (along with this update) might do the trick! however...caution: known to have been regarded as armed and dangerous
