Photography : Compress a picture/image

Can anyone help with this?

If I have a picture in my PC,how can I compress it --i.e. for eg..say from 40 KB to 5 KB.

Cheers

Hi Sunitha,

There are so many softwares available for this.. "Advanced JPEG compressor" is a good one.. search for that in google, u will find out sites for downloading that..

Give it a try..

Sunitha,

I presume you are working with image files that are JPEG or GIF types. Generally BMP files are huge. JPEG & GIF files can be reduced to considerably smaller size without loosing their clarity.

To reduce the size of such image files try using Adobe Photoshop. If you get to the 'image' menu and choose 'Image size', it will give you your pictures existing pixel dimensions. You can reduce height & width of the image in pixels which will automatically reduce the size of the image file in bytes.

Hope this information is of help to you.

Lots of Love,
Rathi

Thanks Rathi and Selvi,

I did try Adobe photoshop...I had it on trial for 30 days..after that I did not purchase it since I was not using it very much.

Selvi,will try your suggestion now,let's see if that works.

Cheers

hi sunita ,
i am sheela (sushdevi inIL)
you take the picture to photoshop and then take the option image .there you would find an option image size ..make it 620 by 280 or your desired ratio..and then save it ...the picture would reduce to your liking ...
