My activities have more than 300 KB. Help to diminish them.
|
|
I need a help. I am new in the site and I am having a great difficulty. When I go to scanner a picture, it comes very heavy, then I can�t make activities that have colorful pictures, because it only allows up to 300 KB. Somebody knows to teach me if exists some form to diminish the quality and the picture to be less heavy? I will wait for the answer. A big kiss.
Thank you very much!!! |

Hi there....if you could, try to divide your work into 2 worksheets, this way, you might be able to upload the work.
Now be careful, there are some users that hate this cause they feel that they have to waste 2 points to download, eventhough they waste NONE, cause most of them are premium users, and to download the work costs them NOTHING> I �d ignore their comments!
Just mention that it is 2 parts, that way they know in advance, no surprises.
As for diminishing the quality, it won �t make a difference if you make your image smaller in word, cause it reads the image �s initial size.
another thing, instead of scanning try to find pics on the web....you can see their size by right clicking on properties...
hope that helps.....

have you checked that your pictures are jpeg, jpg, or gif, for example??? they are lighter than the others!!!! You can check the file type by using paint. If you use word, there is a tool at the bar to compress images. Besides you can use PTminimizer that is a program very much used by ESLprintables �members |

Debinha,
When you use pictures,you can do this:
Give a fast double click on the picture and on the left corner (upside)
a window will show This:
(portuguese version)
"compactar imagem, click one time on it
choose the window options
after choose the option (email) (96 ppi)... so youclick on OK !
Try to do this!
Hope it be useful!
hugs!

I agree with damielle. I usually store the images in jpg, because it �s lighter than bmp or others. I just select the image, go to "save as" and change its characteristics. In my computer you can also choose the image definition, and I always choose a light one. I don �t know if it �s useful for you because I work with a mac, not a PC. Anyway, I hope it helps.

Try the following:
1. Search the worksheets under �tutorial �, you �ll find some really useful assistance.
3. There have been many discussions in the forum about this very topic, so if the search is working properly (& it hasn �t been working for me on many old posts) you �ll find a very large number of discussions & advice.
Good luck!
When it comes to image types you will find that .jpg or .gif will be the best format to use. Unless you know how to manipulate the images properly to maintain quality wjhile reducing the size you should try to use a program that does it for you (e.g. NXPowerlite) or the native Word options.
Scanning images is great & gives you a lot of editing & minimising control. If you know what you are doing with graphics then it is far superior to downloading graphics from the internet, so don´t give up on scanning - just learn to use some extra graphics software!
Feel free to PM me if you want some ideas about software.
Cheers,

Hi everyone! I have the size problem most of you have ever had. I �ve been trying to solve it these days but I didn �t get any results. Images are a normal size, I mean they are not what make the document overcome 300kb. This is my doubt, what �s the problem then? is there any kind of program to help me reduce the size of wss when images are not responsible for such size? |
