Resizing Images

Hi JoelP - resizing of images is capably done on most graphic editing software. Remember the web display's in 72dpi. If you get your software to view in pixels you get a true size of what it will look like on web. Normally the function resize does a bicubic interpolation of your image for best effect when shrunk. Best way is to get the image from source calculated to 72dpi then edit it from there. To best make use of the small amount of data is to optimise the image, this makes for fast uploads and displays. Upload in .gif with a transparent background to see the forums background. Or .jpg to view as it seems you have already done. Often .jpg optimised is a smaller file than .gif but depends on how many colours the image contains.

Feel you want to know more? Just let me know.

I use Serif Photoplus. You can download it from serif.com. Export your picture as whatever format you want after you have resized it. If you save it, it will probably be in the programs native format, corel, photoshop etc. Optimising can save some space at the loss of a bit of quality but if you don't go too low it doesn't show,especially something as small as an avatar.

yours, Pete.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
