Hey, I'm not real new at this caching thing but I am new to digital photography. I've tried several times to post a photo on line but when I get it down to the required 100k size it is so grainy you can't even tell what it is...HELP!!

I usually start by cropping the photo to only show what's necessary.

Then I resize the photo to around 640 pixels horizontal or 480 pixels vertical without changing the aspect ratio.

Then save it as a jpeg with ~%90 to ~%50 compression.

They end up at around 35-50KB

 

P.S. I use Microsoft Photo Editor. It does all the above tasks nicely.

I know it may be too late for you, but if anyone else is reading. I find it best to have a digital camera that has deffrent settings. I set it on the lowest resolution when I am geocaching and that way there is no formating when I upload. If I see a real nice picture while I am out I take a high resolution for my collection.

Did you try closing the session and then re-opening again? Before doing this the images will be extremely pixelated.

Not from my side. Maybe because it is already in my cache? (the computer one's cache I mean :-).

The picture is downsized using Irfan. Nothing else is done with it.
