Reduce Image Sizes

Large images should be reduced in size (to 55 KB or less) before adding them to a flyer. Third-party photo editing programs (such as Photo Shop or Paint Shop Pro) can be used to resize graphical image files. If you are using Windows XP, its Windows Picture and Fax Viewer can be easily used to reduce the size of an image:

Double-click on the image file to open it
Right-click on the image
Select Resize Picture
Select Small or Medium
Click the OK button.

Alternatively or for other versions of Windows, you can use free photo editing programs such as, ResizR, The GIMP or Google's Picasa (see links in Related Articles below) to easily reduce the size of an image. In Picasa:

Select the image
Click Export
Specify the Location and Name of the Exported Folder
Set the Image Size Option to 800 pixels or lower
Leave the Image Quality set to Automatic
click the OK button.
