Reptile & Amphibian Forums

the kingsnake photo forum pics has to be no more the 250K, I put the curser on my pics and all are 300 what do I do?

Are they all BMP's?(Like from paint program?). If so, just open them in paint, hit "save as" and save them as JPG. They reduce in size ALOT. lol.

They are from my digital camera and they are jpg I believe.

Download the program called ‘IrfanView’, it’s a free photo-viewing program you can find on google. Open your picture with IrfanView, and go Image menu, and choose Resize/Resample. Under the resample filter, choose one of the fastest settings (like triangle filter), and click Ok. Then go to File – save, and you should see that the image takes up less space on your hard drive. You could do a lot of the same things with photoshop, but not everyone has that program. Let me know if you have any specific questions or problems, I can’t wait to see your pictures!

I had the same problem, all the pics that my camera took were 500K . They were jpg, and I was able to just open them up using windown paint. Then I went up to "Image" then selected the "Stretch/Skew" Option and sized them down 25% (They were HUGE!, but this might not be a good idea if your pic size is already small.) Just dont shrink them down too far because if you try to unshrink them after that it completely ruins the picture quality and goes all pixely. In that case I just reopened the pic without saving. After resizing, I saved the pics and it brought them all down below 50K. Hope this helps, it worked for me.
