[QUOTE="RandyDSok, post: 180469, member: 201"] I've already provided some suggested programs that do what you are asking.... What you want to do is reduce the resolution size ( aka scale it down ) and save the file as a JPG type. You also want to keep the same ratio of the original so it doesn't distort the image. Always get the programs you use from the authors/manufacture's website and never from a third party. The ones I listed are easily searched for on Google... and would also be too large to email anyway. I believe D.O.G. has also mentioned the program that he likes several times, but I don't recall the name of it. The one I mentioned ( XnView ) does a lot of things but I only use it for 4 things... the thumbnail viewer so I can look at all of the pics in a folder to make finding the shot I'm after easier, converting between different picture formats, resizing and cropping and it supports almost every picture format that I know of. Ex... My Nikon's native high resolution is 6000x4000 .... for a public forum or social site you want something closer to a 1/3 of that size to share and to save it as a JPG to help save on size... so I'd scale it down to 1920x1280 to keep the same scale factor of 3:2. The sizes I selected for my example are pretty common but if yours is different, the math remains the same. Most picture programs can do this already... even Paint that comes with your computer. Oh, one tip... Resize and Resize Canvas are two different things... you want to use the first Resize if the program you choose has both ( also both are common ) Monitors are often referred to in their smaller number ( the height ) of what resolution they support.... Ex. a 1080p monitor will have a resolution of 1920x1080... a 4k monitor is 4x that amount because it's both 2x the height and width at 3840x2160. Note... Size can refer to two totally different aspects with digital photos. I can refer to the resolution as I've mentioned as well as how much space on the disk that it takes up. Reducing the resolution happens to also reduce the amount of space that photo will take up. [/QUOTE]
