Guest Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 Hi, how do you reduce or compress the size of images? Thank you If they are JPEG or PNG (which they probably are), they are already compressed. If you want them smaller then you need to use more aggressive compression settings when you generate them. Your milage on this will be limited with PNG, but you can compress JPEG massively, at the cost of reduced image quality You need to check out the compression settings of the software that you are using to generate your images. If you actually want to make the images physically smaller (and there is no point making your images any bigger than they are actually being displayed as - it's just a waste of space and network bandwidth), then you need some software to do this for you. If you are keen and plan on doing a lot of this, you may want to look at this... http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,2067 ...one of the scripts in this is called resize_images (or something like that). It will resize any JPEG or PNG images you throw at it in one go. Much faster than doing it one by one in a graphics / drawing program. It will also draw borders round the images, make them all the same size, and convert between JPEG and PNG if you want. By the way, you don't need to be using easy populate to make use of this script. Rich.
