Getting an image to 50 kb

Tim,
They're old ones I wanted to update, I've been buggering around for awhile now can't get the damn thing to 50 I'll try and send you the image see what you can do.

Hi Martyn and thanks for that tip to use "Graphic Converter" to re-sixe..Dummy! I should have known..Even though I use the latest vers of Photoshop on my Macs (we have 12 or so PC's in the biz but use them only for Attache etc thru the server) I still always fall back on Graphic Converter to have a quick look at results of pix etc..Great for ultra quick zooms also..I used Corel Draw for years on a PC..That was ok until I discovered Photoshop on the Mac..I can't believe how ezy software is these daysand how crashes just don't seem to exist any more..Funny how some DOS things stick in your mind ,like the old dir/w/p to see all your files on a full page (I think)..Drifting! Just loaded latest up-grade of Final Cut Pro onto my Mac G-5 dual 2x250gb hdd's,twin LCD's as I need all the help I can get to re-re-re-edit our 1989 adventure with Guides To Adventure to tip of Cape York with two of the greatest leaders ever,Scotty and Mary-Anne..We had to build that raft of 44-gallon drums (28),fence wire and saplings to get the rigs over the Wenlock River after a 8 month "wet"..Will put it ont double-sided DVD with heaps of chapters so viewers don't have to suffer the lot in one go if they do not fancy a marathon..

Was eleven years after the trip before I got the first "VCR to VCR That's how it was in those days"edit done,as,every time I would start to edit,I would get the 4B blues and just want to go again..Have four of three hour VHV taped to aggressivly trim down..Need the "workshop" features of F.C.P. to enhance those portion of the tapes that are showing elements of deterioration..As recorder/camera combos chewed batteries then and there were no elect-tris-a trees up there to "plug into" I carried two motor-cycle batteries in leather pouches on my belt for power.Heavy!.The Panasonic AG-6400 recorder alone weighed as much as ten of todays cameras..Had a solar panel on the roof to re-charge..Bet it will take me 'till about June 2006 to get it finishd,by the time I dig up audio effx,music,photos etc.But,that,in it-self,will be an adventure...Whew! Heve fun.RockyOne!MPG:8!

Rocky One,
Much as I would like to take credit for suggesting the idea it wasn't me it was Tim HJ61 who gave you the answer. So your thanks need to go to him.

Thanks HJ-61..Hope I got it rite this time.. :-) RockyOne

Hi RockyOne,

No worries. Although I think you need to give up at least one of your screens, and probably the G5 as well as penance, cos I'm really really put out. Ummm, give them up to me that is. :-)

I'm trying to do the same as you but with iMovie, iDVD and an eMac. It's working fine, but of course with a setup like yours would be a whole lot more snappy.

I've had some old old 8mm standard 8 film converted to DV tape and have imported it all onto Mordor - my firewire drive. Now I'm busy compiling it, adding bits of soundtrack and labels to identify us all when we were young. It's old family home movies, and my haven't we all changed over 40 years.

To avoid crashes I moved to OSX, and to avoid them even more I run Disk Warrior now and again, as well as the little utils like Onyx to keep everything in order after so much I/O with the video. Geez I hate going to work and coping with Win 98.

All the best with your playing.

Tim

Motherhen,
That worked thanks, looks a bit ugly but it'll do.

Good Martyn - done it yourself.

The thumbnail I agree isn't the greatest, but I dunno how to get them better. If you click on the thumbnail it comes up as a much clearer photo. Looks fine to me.

Tim
