how do I do it on windows 8.1. basic language please
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
/* Our first simple C basic program */
printf(“Hello World! “);
getch();
return 0;
}
or....
I use a program called Caesium. It can compress or re size as many photos as you'd like to.

Hope this helps,

Hello World. ;D
thanks for that, Joe.. I'd like to insert some pix in my journal without making it a huge file..

When yer on Windoze you can have an email client called Windows Live.
If you use this you can send pics by email and it will automatically reduce the files to a few different levels.
Start a new email to nobody.
Import pics.
You choose in 'layout' how big they will be. Once chosen you simply save these pics as a different name by right clicking and using 'save as', that is you put them back in the same folder with a suffix to make them different, just add an 'a' to the name, save and then you have that reduced file.
This is then uploaded on any of the many photo hosts that are available.
I use this which I find very easy.

The main thing is to have nice small files to upload on these sites. It's free and pretty easy. This question comes up all the time. I'm surprised there isn't a sticky topic to teach newbies all about it.

He wanted Basic, not C ::)
I use a program called Polyview. Nothing outstanding about it, but it has worked for a lot of years.

I use IrfanView for these types of tasks. It's free, opens pretty much any image file, and it's lightweight.

Good luck.

I was asleep for my first reply.
Actually, I just recently installed this on all of my Windows 8 systems. Get it in the Microsoft Store. It is called "Share To:resize". Easy to use. Click the file OR files OR an entire folder. Set the destination and the size you want. Boom, your photos are resized.

With Paint:
Right click on the picture file.
Select Open With -> Paint
Click on the Resize button
(Change the size)
Then from the file menu select Save As (so you don't overwrite your original)
In Windows Live Photo Gallery (It's probably already installed):
Right click on the photo and select resize
(change the size)
Click Resize and Save (it will create a new file with the dimensions in the file name)
You don't need to mess around with your email program to do this.

You get points for obscure humor there, son. :D ;-T

Why not CBASIC? It's still a basic language... Just not as basic as BASIC. ;)

I'd impress on the OP that you do not want to permanently resize the originals! You may want that resolution later. In my job, i regularly create photo reports by dropping copies of my pictures into an MS Word document, then saving the document as a pdf file (using Adobe Acrobat). Adobe compresses the entire file, yet retains pretty decent image quality. If I'm sending someone pics- i don't want to send dozens of crappy little low res images- makes it a hassle for them to open and view. Once again, i have the originals as need be.
-
Good advice. I never operate on an original photo -- I make a copy to tinker on. Even if you never plan to use the hi-res version, if a question ever arose concerning the photo's authenticity or authorship, you've got the original, untouched file to make your argument with.
-
I thought jpg files are already compressed. Any further compressing will result in loss of quality and/or resolution. Same goes for zipping jpg and pdf files, often the zip file is almost as big or bigger than the original.

I too like Irfanview and use it as my default viewer.
I do not think it has a compression function as such though. I'm presuming from what he says that crc wants to be able to post one of those images where you go from an thumbnail or similar to the full image when you click on it. I think some of the image hosting sites do that don't they?
