I don't know a whole lot about scanning pics on my cp, but I was wondering if
there is anyway to change the pic file from TIFF to JPEG cause it would be
alot easier to send it over the net if they were JPEG. I would appreciate any
help I could get.
Thanks,
Brad
 
Saving your TIFF file to a JPEG file will certainly help, but the JPEG may
still be quite large. Once you have your file as a JPEG, you can resize it
to a smaller file for e-mail.

To decrease the size of the file for e-mail, web publishing, etc.



Go to this site and download the free Image Resizer. Exe file in one of your
folder.

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp

Once in your folder, double click on it to install it.

Once installed, you right click on a photo file (or on a group of selected
photo files).

Click on Resize image on the opening menu.

A window will open, select the size you want.

New files will be added in your folder, same name as original file but with
the word (small) or (custom) added.



The first time you use it, you may not see Resize image on the opening menu
after you right click on a photo file or if you see it and click on it, it
may not work. If so, do the following:

Click on Run, click on Start and type the following in the textbox:

REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL

and press the Enter key.

Note that there is a space between ...32 and SHI.

You should get a message after pressing the Enter key.
