If it is a document you may convert in greyscale. If it is not this case you may reduce the size with the program Corel Photo Paint 12 or later by the menu on the top at the voice IMAGE you choose REDEFINE and put a value less than 100 that is the default. A value of 60 I think is good for your purpose. If the image is too small chose a greater value (80). Bye.

I have to submit it online in an application where they do not accept more than 1 Mb size JPEG so how can I reduce the size of this image.Any format other than this gif,png,jpg also is acceptable but file size should be 1 Mb only.So how can I achieve this let me know if some one has any suggestions for the same. -- Thanks -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div>
