Posting Photos - IrFanView
The following is a guide for photo resizing using IrFanView ver. 3.97 - http://www.irfanview.com (FREE)
Once you have the program running, click File>Open and select the image you need to resize. The file I selected was a .jpg image, 2048 pixels wide and 1536 pixels high, with a size of 950197 bytes. WAY too large to meet the forum limit of 90000 bytes and 800wx600h.
With the image open, click Image>Resize/Resample - the options box will include a check box for easy resizing to the two most common web-sizes, 640x480 and 800x600. Both are appropriate for the 'MUD forum, but note that it's frequently easier to work with 640x480 sizes. Once selected, press OK and the image has now dropped to a respectable dimension.
Next, hit File>SaveAs - select the JPG format from the "Save as type:" dropdown box and make sure the "Show options dialog" is checked. Inside the Options dialog box, check the first item "Save as progressive JPG" and uncheck the rest of the options. Also select the Save quality...."generally" speaking, a compression of 25 will lower the filesize enough and keep the quality up there. With those options finished, and a NEW filename entered (so you don't write over the original and kill all the original quality), press SAVE.
In this instance, the saved filesize ended up at 640x480 and 24576 bytes, WELL below the 90k max...probably could have done a compression of 10 and still ended up with a better image quality and still under the image limits.
Hope this helps a few people in their quest for photo uploading

Would the compression rate you use depend one the size of the original photo.
I did one at 25 and when viewed it was real grainy. i went bak to 100 and the pic was clear and it was still only 244kb

STICKY this thread for sure Woodster.
TY
PS : 25 though safe seems uber low. I consistently stay in the 75% range. Mind you I take high quality defn pics .. NOT super high quality. That might factor into it.

For example ..
I imported this into Irfanview originally it was some big ass size, so I rescaled it to 650x487 ... at 80% quality of original .. and it comes in at a hair over 52KB.

Ok, am I reading this right that the LOWER the compression the HIGHER the image quality after resizing? The reason i am confused is that Ty wrote that 25 is low and he goes with 75% compression. What am i missing? Thanks.

high compression numbers = crappy quality....BEST quality = zero compression

Cool!
I've been wanting to find a way to get my pics to show a little better.
I'll try two different compressions and see which one is better (sorry I wasn't sure if I should get it down to 25 or reduce 25 to 75).
So here we go.
[EDIT]
OK, it's obvious that I should have just dropped 25 to 75. I will try adding another variation with higher than 75 (90?).
So the first pic at 90, the second at 75 and the third at 25.
[EDIT2]
Cool! Between the 75 and the 90 there is not a huge difference, but I like what I see.
Thanks, woody, for the tip!

when you post a new thread, there are advanced options at the bottom of your posting page....you can tag on 3 attachments at a time....and at your "newish" user status, you can likely fit 3-5 images total in your attachment folder.

Anyone know of an equivalent to irFanView that runs on Macs?
Iphoto allows for specifying saved picture dimensions, but to get a
file under 88k requires setting dimensions to about 300 pixels
by 200 pixels, which makes for a crappy picture.
