​Make space, reduce photo size

Pictures take up a lot of space on your phone. On a computer in general, pics are where the space goes. The cameras in smart phones these days take great pictures. Every year the manufacturers make sure to advertise how much better their cameras are than everyone else’s. Great for us, in a way. It means we need more storage to keep those photos. Bigger storage drives in a computer or phone, more cloud storage, more costly as well.

And when sending the picture to someone, they don’t really need to see your garlic shrimp dinner at 6Mb, no matter how delicious. And 6 months later, you won’t need to refer to it on your phone, a 3” square, at that size either. David, Carol’s brother, referenced a great article on this very thing. Read it yourself Here.
 
Note from Carol:  Images for the web do not have to be large.   Print requires a much higher resolution than websites.  Both my Inbox and I would appreciate smaller images.  😉
