Irfanview Issues


Question Posted Sunday July 30 2006, 2:57 pm

On MySpace, I want to add pictures, but I can't, because all the picture files are too large. (The size limit is 600k.) MySpace offered a resizing program (Irfanview) to download for free. I did download it, but I'm having trouble learning how to use it, and how to resize my files. Can someone help me with this?

i love irfanview

what you do is you open up th pic you want to use and go to Image at the top (you know where it says file etc.) and click resize/resample and where there are numbers put in how big you want it i usually do 500 in the first box and click ok but it w.e you want and if the pic is like tall (i dont know how to describe) it'd be better if you changed the height to 500 instead of the width :)

hope i helped and if your still confused drop on in my inbox :)

p.s. if you click effects in the Image section you add some cool effects to your pic

it might not be because of a "resizing" problem. it might be with the file the picture is saved under. you might want to check if the picture is saved under a bitmap. bitmaps tend to take more space, so i would suggest you save under jpegs and gifs. if that doesn't help, regarding the program, it might be easier if you used adobe photoshop or paint to resize your pictures. if you use adobe photoshop, just go to image > image size and just plug in the numbers and watch the picture size change, save as, and you're done. you might have to do this a couple times before you reach a size less than 600K. if you're using paint, go to image > stretch/skew, and in the "stretch" boxes, plug in a number under 100 to make your picture smaller. you don't have to insert a number into the "skew" boxes. but you can try it out to see what it does. and that should do it! :D
