IviewP help needed

Leonard, I copied a pic in pixela Then I opened the IviewP and did a paste in the IviewP and the jpg showed up on the page. Then I did a drag and drop on the exe icon and my pic opened up with the double row of boxes down the right side. I wen to the next to thebotton right one and set the compression to 75%. When I clicked on OK it just went back to my pic showing with the boxes down the right side. I went to post the pic but could not because it was 58k and was deleted for size. I then changed the compression to 25% with the same results and then at 90% - the size was the same - Any idea why It does not compress ?

Hi Bill. You have to set the compression like you are doing and then save it to disk--either your hard disk or a floppy. The new file that is saved will now be compressed. (We need to write up directions for it--a lot of features there.)

The top right button saves the file. I did get it by going to 90% compression after going through and deleting the file everywhere.

The top left button opens the file. The top right button saves it. And you don't need to delete the files, as you can save them as and just overwrite the file that neads compressing. Or, if you need to save the original (you don't want to keep compressing the same file over and over. If you need more compression, start with the original and give it more.) you can, if you name the first one "Barnstormer", save the compressed one as "Barnstormer1".

And remember, the forum gives each file a scrambled number. This is done because too many people might upload a picture of an Impact, for instance, and if the pictures were named the same, you would end up over writing someone else's picture.
