Lightbulb Image Size


I use the software that came with my digital camera (Epson) to resize images. Not knowing what you have, and assuming you are PC/Microsoft based, try using Microsoft Photo Editor. Open image in that, go to Image button at top, then change the width or height. Then, right click on the photo and select properties. That will give the resultant "bytes". Keep making it smaller until you hit the bogey. If your starting at 1.3M, your pic is going to be rather small when done. Therefore, when you go to save it, use "save as" and select the "more" button at the bottom of that box. That will bring up a scale of 1-100 for JPG density. Make sure it is saved at the far left (samllest file size).

I save all of my "download pics" in a special folder called "low rez". That way, I can keep the original at whatever size and quality I wish. Periodically, I go in and clean it out since I usually only download an image once.

I don't know what the future holds for the current CC download file size restrictions, but for sure... it will test the skills of many trying to deal with it.

Happy editing!!!!
