Hello all, I'm back again.
I am dedicating this post to every reader who at sometime or the other have experienced difficulties uploading photographs to the Internet. This in many cases I've seen is due to the file size of the picture and the low bandwidth of the Internet connection being used.
The solution I am providing to you now will drastically reduce the file size of the picture without making the picture look smaller.
Materials Required
1. Microsoft Office Picture Manager
2. Microsoft Windows Paint
The Microsoft Office Picture Manager comes with the Microsoft Office Suite and the Microsoft Windows Paint is installed by default with the Windows Operating System.
Now, let get to work!
1. Locate the picture you intend to compress
2. Right Click on it. From the drop down menu, point to Open With and select Paint
3. When the picture opens in Paint, simply select File and the click Save.
Now the First step is complete.
Second Step!
1. Right Click the picture again, point to "Open With" and select "Microsoft Office Picture Manager"
2. On the top Pane of Microsoft office Picture Manager, select "Edit Pictures..". A list of Command options appear on the right of the screen.
3. Click on the last which should be "Compress Picture". Four (4) options appear, "Don't Compress", "Document", "Web Pages", "E-mail messages".
4. Click on the option for "Document" then click "OK"
5.Click File, then Save.
Now the file is lean enough for you to easily move about on the Net yet large enough for easy viewing. You may want to monitor the file size before and after the action. You will notice a huge difference.
This process can help you save a lot of space on your Hard disk if you have to store a whole lot of pictures on you computer. I'm currently in the process of developing a script that will automate this process.
I hope you found this post interesting. Thanks for reading.
