paCkeTroUTer Posted October 3, 2003 Report Share Posted October 3, 2003 I tried looking for an option in GIMP to reduce the quality of a jpeg image, but I can't seem to find the right menu option. Does anyone know how to reduce the quality of a jpeg image with gimp from 100% to about 75% ? If this option is not available with gimp, perhaps an alternative application ?

kilimanjaro Posted October 3, 2003 Report Share Posted October 3, 2003 Open a picture with gimp and right click on the image. you should get a menu go down to image and then you will get another menu. Then click on scale image. You can change the px tab pn the right to a % and then choose what percent. There might be alittle more you have to do with it. I can't remember all of it, it has been awhile since I used it. You can also change the file type to ones that compress better. You do this be clicking on file and then save as. Then under save options you can change the format of the file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paCkeTroUTer Posted October 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2003 Open a picture with gimp and right click on the image.you should get a menu go down to image and then you will get another menu. Then click on scale image. You can change the px tab pn the right to a % and then choose what percent. That only reduces the size of the image in dimensions. So if I had an image which was 300px by 300px and then I select % and reduce it to say 50% it will make the dimesions of the image to 150px by 150px What I am trying to do is change the quality of the image as in compression ratio % anybody else ?

paCkeTroUTer Posted October 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2003 :shock: I found it !! When you save the image as jpg you get an option to optimise the compression ratio. Obviously I didn't try saving an image before asking the question. Thanks anyway for the response. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilimanjaro Posted October 3, 2003 Report Share Posted October 3, 2003 if you change the size of an image and then change the resolution you can change the overall size of the file. both of these things can be done in the image menu.

paCkeTroUTer Posted October 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2003 Thanks, Changing size and resolution was not exactly what I was looking for. Ther are totally different to changing compression % !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glitz Posted October 3, 2003 Report Share Posted October 3, 2003 Try "save as". I think it uses the same settings if you just use save whereas save as allows you to state new compression parameters. I may be completely wrong about this but that's the way one of the programs I use does it. Glitz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
