re: Picture size in W2k?? Monday, December 29, 2008 at 5:19 pm Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by geek9pm (1030 messages posted) It all depends what format they have. And what level of compression they have. Windows XP will show thumbnails for some, by not all types of picture formats. For camera pictures, it is most often JPG format. To reduce space, the picture should be saved with at least a compression index fro about 6 to 12. By using even higher compression, up to about 40, you can save more space on your hard drive and still have fair snapshots quality. Your camera should have a setting for this. But it may not tell what the index is, just something line this: Best, Better, Good and Draft. The 'Better' format will have some compression. Maybe between 4 to 8 more or less. If you are new to Digital Pictures, look at this: http://www.shortcourses.com/workflow/workflow1-1.html Microsoft, as you know, is not doing much for Windows 2000 users other than security updates. So of the new image software MS offers may not work on Win 2K. Geek9pm     New Bird Logo. Written in response to: Picture size in W2k??
