    You cannot really compress JPEGS, they are already heavily compressed.

    If fact, if you try to compress some JPEGS, you will find they will increase rather than decrease in size or suffer artefacts.

    If you can find a program that will compress them, be aware that anything you do to a JPEG will deteriorate the quality.

    The rule of thumb is to always make a copy and play around with that and store the original.

    If JPEGS don't suit you, try another format.

    OK, where are my Hugssssssssssssssssss ?

    All I want to do is,,,lets say I have a jpg that's 300KB its to big for emailing to my friends ,,,,they always complain about the size. With PhoteDeluxe I would reduce that pic from 300KB,,,,lets say down to 25KB and it looks great. That's all I want,,,,,something for reducing pics for my emailing purposes. PhoteDeluxe was perfect,,,,,,but its not compatible with XP Pro.
    Marlene,,,,,
    The Hug still awaits to the lucky guy,,,,,,, :)

    Changing the size is different to compressing it, but anyway.

    Irfanview is free and will change the size, and is one of the handiest programs to have.

    Make sure you download and install both the program and plugins.

    I can feel a hugsssssssssssss.

    Try the program I suggested, it decreases the size of the original and the image quality didn't degrade (at least not that I could notice). Try it for yourself to see! ;)


    Sorry Insomniac you are wrong and also repeating what others suggested already. U don't get any hugs! :)

    Marlene, where is my hugs, huh? :p

    Irfanview works, so I don't understand why it's unsuitable.

    I think Marlene should lay off the hugs and actually try it as it works. :)

    Open the image in Irfanview, go to Image, Resize/Resample, and select the size you want.

    You can also do this in Paint if you don't want to install anything.

    I don't think hugsssss will do it anymore. I want money and an apology. :)

    She didn't comment on the program I suggested so I have nothing more to say but good luck with the perfume smell thing....but I doubt, the next morning your shirt would have any smell on it other than OldNavy (if that)..lol...jk....I kid, I kid! :)

    Sorry Turcoloco,the program was very good but not what I was looking for. My brothers friend a Geek came over and started tweaking my PhoteDeluxe Program and Woohoooooo he got it to work in XP.
    But I still have a big Hug for all you guys trying to help me.
    Thank you once again,
    Marlene,
    Hugs

    To all my new Major Geek Friends
    Hugs and Kisses
    XOXOXOXO's

    Think you are wrong about the fabulous Irfan Viewer. Open the jpg in Irfan go to File on the menu bar and "Save as" and a great big box opens full of options with a slider at the top to compress or decompress to your hearts content
    Cheers
