Sim_Da_BTCC_Man should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Image size

Hi all -

Your all a wealth of knoledge on this forum so I thought i'd run my dilema past you.

I have some photos I wish to put on my website (around 50). They come to about 30MB! I have something like 200 photos on my webspace and they come to around 10MB! The photos are even smaller (pixel wise) than those already on my webspace.

Any ideas how I should compress the file sizes?

The other pics are from scans but these are from my new Olympus Camedia Digital camera. Maybe thats why the file sizes are so big?

All advice welcome
Simon

Re-save them with a program that allows you to lower the quality of the jpeg? I know that if I take a pic from the net and save it, later to open it with my scanner software and re-save the same picture, it is usually a fraction of the size and it still looks fine.

see I could reduce the quality. Problem is then my program likes to destroy images when I reduce the quality.

Don K has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
Adobe ImageReady is very good in compressing picture file sizes without losing too much quality.

Unfortunately, you've got too invest quite some time in setting up the program for this task.

not entirely sure scan ins (is that what you're doing?) work very well when you shrink them. digital pictures will shrink really well.

you could re-scan at a lower resolution?

Bella im trying to shrink pics from a digital camera.

I've reduced the image quality to 85 and now got the size of all of them together to 4.58MB but i've still got another media cards worth of pics left to do yet.

A freeware download like LView Pro will reduce image file sizes without reducing quality.

I have the same camera package/program as you.

When I re-save the picture I choose low quality and you cannot see the difference the difference in file size is a lot.

IMHO if you want lots of pictures of good quality, then you need an ISP that offers you plenty of webspace where file size wont be a problem. You have to decide what the trade off is to be... quality or quantity?

Hi Simon,

There is an excellent piece of software available that is made for your problem. I use it my site via a photo upload. No loss of quality!!

You can get the software at:

http://www.xat.com/io/index.html

The software is called Image Optimizer.

A sample of what it can do:

Check out the quality against the file size.

Regards.

Steve.

There is a feature in photoshop called 'save for web' which I use. It gives a choice of 4 quality settings of which you can choose the onr you prefer. You can adjust the 4 choices it offers you to ensure the photos appear unpixelated.

Sounds like an advert but the Image Optimizer you can batch your photos. Which mean's that if you have 100 photos in one file you can set the settings an it will do all of them on one click. Perfect if you have web images.
