How can I re-save my photos at a smaller size for moblogging?

2 replies · 5 views · Started 31 January 2006

Q. I want to start moblogging from my Nokia megapixel smartphone but I'm very wary of the GPRS costs of sending my megapixel images (up to 600K each) over the air. Is there any software that can reduce the pixel size of each image prior to sending it? I don't want to take my photos in a lower resolution because at the end of the day I also want to print most of them.

Read on in the full article.

I've found another way of doing this within the smartphone itself, no third party software included:

Go to the picture you want to shrink, "Send via Multimedia". Providing you have your Multimedia Message settings to "Picture size: Large", the smartphone will automatically resize the picture to 640x480 when inserting in a new MMS. You can then access the picture, save it where you want it, delete the unsent message and you're done.

Hope this helps,

Also if you view the image via the gallery (N70 onwards I think) and highlight it, in options there is SHRINK. This will shrink the image down to usually less than 30kb.

Be warned though that it replaces the original image so if you want to keep the original quality- transfer a copy to your pc before SHINKing
