Monitor

2005-10-30 Thread Lisa Pitcher

Hi guys

Was wondering if anyone out there might have an old 15 or 17 monitor 
that is still ok, but isn't being used.


I'm trying to set up a system for my 75yr old mother so she can get 
online to keep in touch with us all as she doesn't get out much these 
days. I have an old Aptiva tower and keyboard etc, but no monitor. Is 
there someone out there who could help?


Reply off-list please.

Regards

Lisa 


Re: JPEG Size size change

2005-10-30 Thread Shay Telfer

To WAMUGGERS,

When I rotate the image in a JPEG file, the file size reduces from 
the size received from the camera.


This occurs (to differing degrees) with Preview, Adobe Photo Deluxe, 
Photoshop Elements and Canon Image Browser.


Can any one tell me why this happens and if the resulting image may 
have degraded?


File sizes of 750Kb go to 350 - 470Kb.

Using iMac G5 20


Unless you're using software that supports lossless image rotation 
the image is being recompressed, hence the change in file size and 
presumably quality (repeated rotations and saving will lead to 
increased degradation in quality) I think iPhoto and GraphicConverter 
both support lossless JPEG rotation.


JPEG is a lossy format, it throws away some image data and makes some 
small approximations (hopefully within a range that's imperceptible 
to humans) to allow for good compression. This is what the 'quality' 
rating is when you're saving a JPEG. This is usually visible near the 
edges of objects in the image (this is why it's a bad idea to save 
images of text as JPEG, as there are lots of fine edges). Other 
formats such as TIFF, PNG or GIF are lossless, they maintain the 
image's pixels exactly, but have larger file sizes.


Have fun,
Shay
