Picasa 5 (3.9) Image Editing Tutorial

Select an image with a large file size, in this example we are using a 2.5 MB JPG at 2816x2112 px from a 5 MPX digital camera. Why not use HTML resizing to insert the photo into the web page. Because HTML resizing does not compress the image file size, so inserting a 2.5 MB file into the web page will result in very slow download speeds on the internet. The goal is to create a reasonable quality image with a small file size. Only JPG, GIF and PGN file formats work on web pages.
