Posting bitmap images
« on: March 05, 2008, 08:16:52 am »
Does anyone have any tips on how to reduce the size of a bitmap image to allow it to be posted on the forum ? I have successfully posted jpg images ,after reducing the size by using the village photos website . But this method does not work with bitmap images .

Convert the bitmap file to a jpeg first. There are free programs to do this easily. try Download .com or google  bitmap to jpeg free program. cheers Tim
I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

I think you'll find even Winows Paint will save a bitmap as jpeg.
