I have a .jpg file which is of 21kb and i want to reduce its size( in length and breadth). so i opened it in MS paint.. went to Image-->attribute and entered the reduced size and clicked ok... then i went to "save as" Here if i save it as .jpg with 256 color bitmap.. the image becomes blurred and despite that what i notice is that size of this .jpg is greater than 21 ( in spite of the fact that the current size is smaller) . Then I tried saving it with 24 bit bitmap. Now the image is ok.. not blurred... but now it is of 247k.. So can somebody help me in getting this jpg with size <= 21kb
mad4, but earlier i have done this MS paint and it worked fine. I dont know why it is not working now... please have a look ... or can you refer me to some free photo editor..
mad4, can you have a look at my first post again.. earlier i made some mistake in explaining my problem
If you post a link to the image I am sure I/someone could reduce it for you if it's just the one image.

hi.. i have attached the jpg image.. currently the size is 760,130.... and i want it to be 650,130.. please make sure memory size doesn't increase...
Hahah. I also did it. I can't figure out how to attach the damn thing though. Its 10kb and it's here: http://www.etenerife.com/images/green-banner.jpg. I'll delete the page in an hour or so.
Search google for Gimp, thats all you need, unless you plan on getting into graphics then i suggest photoshop over anyting else, its worth the extra money. I got mine for somewere around $300 on a student discount at purdue
You can crop the image to obtain one 650 by 130 and have image remain crisp but you can not shink image to meet that criteria without the blurring you describe. An image needs to be shurnk to preserve aspect ratio.
I would recommend Macromedia Fireworks ( it neatly maintains the resolution and the image quality ...It just rocks ) My 2c.
