reduce image size

Question

User294545519 posted

 Hi,

 I'm creating a Bitmap from a JPEG stored on the server, cropping it, then saving it into the same location. Before cropping the image the file size is around 3MB, however afterwards its about 14MB! Why is this, and how can I ensure the image size is reduced?

Thanks,

Curt.

 When you save the image, you can specify a imageformat. Wich imageformat do you use?

 I don't think ive been specifying one though. Ive just been doing:

 

Bmp.Save(SERVER FILE PATH/FILE NAME)

Hi!

Take a look at my Thumbnail implementation. I resize Image to the desired size and applies a custom JPEG compression filter.
