I have a few jpeg pics that are 1.05mb and they have to be under 1 mb to upload into my garage. isit possible to compress them? if so, how?

theres a way to do it in paint, open it up and go to image, then stretch and skew and change the top 2 to 40 or something

its the pikey way to do it but it works if you dont have p/s

As Vibrio's said, if you're using your garage for JPEG's over 1mb in size... then you should resize them.

the corsasport garage automatically resizes them if they are over a certain size anyway

It increases the compression, but it doesn't resize the image dimensions.

File size is different to resolution.

If there's a limit to the upload size of the image, it will be checked before it's uploaded. If it's over a certain amount, you won't be able to upload.

Image resolution is not checked.

Do a Google for 'image resize powertoy'. This is an extension for Windows XP which allows you to right click an image and resize it quickly.

You can either have it overwrite your original file, or create a copy first....

You should be looking at getting your file to 800 pixels in it's greatest dimension, and to ~100Kb, or the CS server will do it for you anyway (but you'll save time uploading -- no point giving us a 1Mb jpg for us to throw away 0.9Mb of it )
