Resizing HDR images for web
Sep 30, 2011 10:39:32 #
I asked this once before and got no responses. Does anyone know how to reduce the size of an HDR image so it can be sent in an e-mail or posted on this site? It is a combination of 3 shots and the final image says the file is too large to send. Any ideas? I don't know a lot about resizing - it seems usually it is done automatically.

Picasa from Google will easily resize/create a copy small enough for e-mail.
I use this for quick rsize for say Facebook posting.

Or all Photoshop products will enable you to "save as" then pick you size and file type.

What are you using to resize your pic? There's a difference between resizing the image dimensions and image resolution. But it would help to know what you're using.

Simply done, I open the image in Microsoft Office Picture Manager and choose the resize option (largest option is 1024x768 - which is fine for this forum) . . . and save it as xsmall.jpg or something discerning it from the original file. Whether an HDR image or any too-large size image . . . resizing is resizing. You just have to use the tools you have. Since I don't know your arsenal of software, I suggested the easiest way I know.

Open image in Photoshop. Go to Image, Image size. Change horizontal to 1024, if it is a horizontal image, and vertical 768, if the image is portrait or vertical and click OK. It is now sized for sending by e-mail. .
