| To lower the file size on the image above: 1. Use the crop 
tool to crop the image.2. When saving the image use a higher compression. But remember the higher you compress the image the more loss in image quality. |

| If you want to keep the
file size down, save your photos in JPEG format. Normally, when saving photos from a photo package, the default setting is BMP or some other format . Before you save a file, you can name it. Just under where you name it, you will get a list of options. Choose JPEG or (*JPEG). This will keep down your file size a lot. And nearly all photo packages recognize this format. You can also choose how much compression, making the file size smaller again, but with more quality loss. Ther is one drawback with this format and that is every time you open the photo to edit, the next time you save it will lose a little more quality. (So it's a good idea to keep a back up of all photos that you will be editing.). |
