Some methods of shrinking the physical size of these photographs still leave the file size much larger than needed.<br /><br />My rule of thumb is that most images should be in the region of 5KB to 7KB for small, say 150 pixel images rising to 15KB to 25KB for 400 pixel images.<br /><br />What's your favourite image manipulation software?<br /><br />My current favourite is <a href="http://www.vso-software.fr/products/image_resizer/image_resizer.php">VSO Image Resizer</a> because it's freeware, it's easy to use and handles a number of different file formats.<br /><br />I also like '<a href="http://fookes.com/ezthumbs/index.php">Easy Thumbnails</a>' for .jpgs and <a href="http://www.rw-designer.com/picture-resize">Picture Resizer</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.lib-dems.net">www.lib-dems.net</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7948921683469842666-5410392663287191594?l=libdemsnet.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Chris Phillipsnoreply@blogger.com1
