Went to a car show this afternoon

I took a whole bunch of pics but will just post one.

I have no problem reducing pics in size but the KB part is a bitch.

If it's just a few KB's over 293kb it won't work.

Unfortunately I use Photoscape and it doesn't have that capability.

It only lets me shrink the pixel size and the only way to reduce the kb's is to make the pic smaller.

By the time I'm down to 293 kb the pics are avatar size.

I check the software and when you save you can adjust the jpeg quality if you drag the control at left. At the same time you see the size.
You have to open the pic in editor "redigerare" to do this.

Download a photo resizer on your phone. It works all the time.

Awesome pictures, thank you

Now can we get a Jocke video tutorial on "how to shrink pictures for dummies" ?
I have not been able to post a picture since the new roll out

Great pics Mon! The lines on both Cadillac's are incredible. The smooth body rolls of the panels. Man I miss the old cars.

Hi Mon,
No idea if the fleetside is for sale. But for sure will be more expensive than necessary.
If you want I can ask if I meet the owner.
