Shrinking Images
Digital cameras take pictures that are much larger than your computer screen.
Most pictures that you take and send to your friends and family simply need to be
displayed in high quality and at a reasonable size. Most image display programs will
shrink the size of the image before displaying it, but the image file will still
remain large and unmanageable. PicPackager shrinks the actual file, minimizing
storage size and reducing the work that your image displaying program must do.
Most e-mail providers do not allow files to be sent that are over a few megabytes.
Two dozen pictures on the average digital camera take up more than 15 megabytes.
This means that these pictures cannot be sent in one e-mail without shrinking them.
PicPackager will often turn twenty 3.2 megapixel images into one 1.5 MB zip file.
