Is there a FW program that reduces the byte size of a jpeg file to a
selected size. Not ZIP or RAR or such. A viewable file, but smaller

Thank you too much for any help you can give me.

The JPEGWizard
JPG Wizard The only jpeg editing software that does not recompress your
jpeg file! Why damage your image needlessly? All other imaging programs
uncompress and recompress, and that is BAD! Create smaller faster
downloading images! Compress images regionally for better quality!
Recompress your images without recompression loss! Add banners and text to
images! Crop, rotate and merge images! Create high quality thumbnails!

JPEG is a format that is concidered "lossy" due to the manufacture of
artifacts. You take 2 or 3 pixels and generalize the color to reduce the
amount of information. In this way you can use the 16.7 million colors to
make a convincing photo or image and keep small file sizes.

The programs I see here are mostly programs that don't address this problem;
the one T. Lozengin is looking for a solution to. What these programs are
doing is to reduce the size of the _image_, not the file size.

I don't have a solution for this, I have always used PSP which does the best
job I have ever seen and so have never needed to search for freeware.

Me too, but you can use many of the programs mentioned to reduce the
quality of a jpeg, thus retaining picture size but reducing file size.

IrfanView is great , but if you want easy (a rt. click) than get
"Easy Thumbnails" from http://www.fookes.net/ (free) and set the
size to around
600 x 600 for e-mailing , it resizes pictures in a batch also
......... of course if you have XP you can just get MicroSofts power
toy that resizes with a rt. click also ....Mike555

Look on IrfanView's website for a link to "IrfanView Shell Extension - by
BAxBEx Software." With this, you can right-click on a file and convert to
many formats. Maybe you can convert to the same format and effectively
just re-save the file. (It's late. Hope that makes sense ...)
