I wanted to email someone a picture that was 467,007 bytes. (The
picture was from a newsgroup. I did not take it.) I thought that was
too big so I experimented with resizing it with PhotoImpact 4.2. I
discovered that if I just loaded it and re-saved it without reducing
its dimensions, it went from 467,007 bytes to 37,341 bytes. I have
PhotoImpact set to use "Best" generation quality.
When I look at the pictures, I can not see any difference until I zoom
way in. Why is there such a huge difference in file sizes
(12.50654776 times)?
If there is another newsgroup where this question would be more
appropriate, please let me know.
