I have like 12 files uploaded and about all 10 of my mb's used up. Is there any other way to save (preferably JPEG) that doesn't screw up the image? Gracias.

Use photoshop to convert to .jpg?

Use a program that will allow you to make custom compression when converting to JPG. Like ACDSee or Photoshop or Photo Paint.
O percent will still make it small. 10 percent is good enough for most people.

(Note: This is the same as using 100 or 90 percent quality.)

So they all require either Photoshop or some other program...hmm I'll look into one of those free ones.

Infraview is very good for reducing image size, however, it will reduce the quality....by alot!

For quick, one time jobbers they are fine, but if you want to print them, you will need to save a copy BEFORE you run it through Infraview.

you know I keep hearing this but never looked into it. Got anything to back that statement up with? I always use 95% quality whenever I save jpegs using ifran. I also use photoshop often and I've never really noticed a difference in the jpeg compression between the two.

I just did a test: I took a 1.6m image and reduced it 95% with Irfanview (v. 3.97) and compared it with the original in Photoshop (6.0). Irfanview was able to reduce the original image file size by almost 50% but created a "softer" image relative to the original. Some of the finer details are blended. I started my comparision at 100% zoom then gradually zooming in more. The images were side by side the whole time.

I did noticed that the new version that I downloaded allows one to "save-as" once the roginal image is resized.
