Image Editing

• Images must not be larger than 100kb.

Download IrfanView
IrfanView is a simple graphics utility that makes it possible to modify images so they are suitable for the internet. Note: If you are able to modify images with your existing software, there is no need to download IrfanView.

If you are not sure how to alter an image's properties, download IrfanView from the link above.

Download will take approximately 3-4 minutes on a 56k modem.

Once the software is downloaded double click the setup icon.

When Welcome to IrfanView Setup appears, click next.
When Version Details appears, click next.
When Associate with IrfanView appears, select all and click next.
When Ready to Install appears, click next.
When Installation Successful appears, click done.

Opening an Image in IrfanView

Click on File Menu, Open. A dialog box allows you to open a file for use in IrfanView.

Use the Look In dialog box to locate the file you want, or type in a file name. Files of Type allows you to limit your choice by showing only the type of file you want (i.e. jpeg). The default is Common IrfanView files.

If you check Preview active, a single click on an image filename will display a small thumbnail. Another click brings the file into the viewer. You can also double click the filename.

If there are multiple images, a dialog box will allow you to choose a single image. Click the names for previews. Click Accept when you find the one you want.

To close without opening a file, click Cancel, or click the 'X' in the upper right hand corner.

After opening your file, you will see an image; or you will get an error message if the filetype is not supported by IrfanView. If you open a large image, you can use the scrollbars to see all parts of it.

Image Information in IrfanView

Click on Image Menu, Information. A dialog box will open showing the following details:

• File name
  
• Directory name
  
• Compression method must be jpg
  
• Current DPI. You can change the values and press set.
  
• Original size (width/height in pixels)
  
• Current size (width/height in pixels)
  
• Original colours (colour depth, bits per pixel)
  
• Current colours (colour depth, bits per pixel)
  
• Number of unique colours in the image
  
• File disk size cannot be over 100kb
  
• Image memory size (in kb - decompressed)
  
• Current directory index
  
• File date/time

If settings are incorrect or you wish to resize an image follow these steps:

Changing Compression or Resizing of an Image in IrfanView
Click on menu Image, Resize/Resample. A dialog box allows you to choose the new size for your image. The first number is width, the second height, both in pixels. Leave the Preserve Aspect Ratio box checked, type in one number and the other will be calculated for you.

Optimal internet screen images are no wider than 800 pixels. This should fill a normal screen's width with the image you are importing. Reducing this number will proportionately have the image reduce in size across and down the screen.

Resampling an image often improves the quality, especially when enlarging it. Enlarging without resampling can result in a blurry image. If desired, change either number to your new pixel size, then click OK to resize the image. This action can be undone several times, or reversed by clicking Undo in the Edit menu.

To save the image as a different file type or filename, use the Save As option. Click the file type's drop down arrow, and a list of file types will appear. Select JPEG. When you save, the file will be converted to the new format or name.

Ensure the filename doesn't contain any blank spaces or special characters such as (*@#$%?).
