compressed it to 72.. lotsa pix.. did check!!!!

Okay, top one is yours, bottom one is mine. Yours is 107 KB, mine is 49 KB. Clearly, you can still compress it much more and it's still a good picture. It just takes less time to open, and less space on your server.

My question is "Where did you *compress* it to 72?" I can't find something that lets you do just that.

In Picture It, when I "save as" the pic in the jpeg form, it opens the folder where it's going to save the jpeg, and in that screen it has an *option* button to click on. I clicked on that Option, and there is a slider there. I set the slider at 50. There's a world of difference in the size of the file in bytes but not in the clarity. Are you setting the slider when you save it at 72? I don't think that's necessarily the number of pixels per inch, but could sure be wrong. :)

whoa. just got home from my support group & this was "on the top of the pile" of pings.

I guess I need to learn more about picture it. I do my "reduction" with the left sidebar & one of the choices is file reduction. You then have three choices. Can use one or all. I usually do the pixel & the resolution automatically goes down to 72. There is nothing lower but it does go up VERY high the other direction. The Picture It file keeps it at 300 - by going to JPEG it automatically goes down to 72. Will check out (when I am more awake) the sliding bar "thingie" you discussed.

Thanks Billie. you are always so generous to help us!
