Photo Tips - Megapixel & Megabytes - TravellerG

[FelipePK]

Hey @TravellerG,

Thanks again to tag me, I was checking your tips on my phone (I use iPhone X). Unfortunately it doesn't give me the option to change the quality of the photos =/ so I can't do the tests to see it.

Visually seeing the photo I honest can't see any differences between them but it's remarkable how the storage size reduced which is great.

Hi @TravellerG,

Thank you very much!

I took these photos with my camera Panasonic Lumix with lens for portrait. It was after raining and that's why it's so full of life. 

There is a difference between the previous photos and this photo that I took with my phone Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus:

Caption: A rose in the winter (Local Guide @PoliMC)

Dear friend, @FelipePK

Sorry, I was not clear in my explanation (I will note care of this in future) - it not your mistake, please.

What you did is correct - Only some cameras allow you to change the the RESOLUTION. OK? Don't worry.

Let me simplify it:

Aim:

1. Keep the PIXEL SIZE or the PHOTO SIZE ie Length x Width = same, Eg: Samsung S9 Plus has 4032 x 2034
2. But, we want to reduce the File Size, in MB to KB.. OK?

Here, we reduce the JPEG QUALITY & not the Resizing in Megapixel.

I have used Irfan View, free software to reduce the file size bt "Re-Saving the original file, reduced to 90% or, 80% or 75 % etc.

You can use many other software, to reduce the QUALITY of JPEG Files, while saving the picture.

Hope, you will do it ... 

Thanks

Great post @TravellerG sir, wonderfully explained the difference between these two. 

Also the photos are really beautiful. 

By the way, we are not able to see the second photo (Picture taken in RX 10 & published at 75% JPEG Quality)

Hello sir @TravellerG. its still not visible, I have sent you the screenshot on whatsapp. 

It seems to be an embedded photo, I guess you have copied this pic from your google photos main directory. Please check the same, if it is then you will have have share this image into a public share folder first and then copy-paste here.

Hi @TravellerG!

Great tips as usual explain in a detailed and simple way! 

Thanks for that!

I just wanted to let you know about Google's new incredible web application for reducing size of photos: Squoosh

(thanks to @PaulPavlinovich for talking about it here on Connect!)

Bye,

David
