Just a quick note for those of you who get frustrated when for instance trying to email your nice digital pictures to friends and family. Those original image files may be so large that it takes forever to send and recieve them! This video, which I happened to come across while browsing the web, shows you how to deal with such problems, using image editing software.

- I hope it will prove helpful to some of you, although the video quality is a bit fuzzy. The puppy dog is cute, though.

Briefly, this video shows you how to make an image file much smaller so that you can for instance email it without problems. The same principle applies also if you want to publish an image on the Web: it has to be downsized and compressed, or else it won’t work well for those who try to look at it.

Note that in the video, they also downsize the example file a bit for printing purposes. This is not needed at all - you only need to play with the resolution of the file (ie. how many DPI you want) when adjusting the file for printing - the higher DPI number you choose; the smaller, but sharper, it will come out on paper.
