Genevieve Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Hello forum, When I resize my image at 1MB, the size doesn't reflect the same size when I save it. When I look at properties, my image is at 160KB..! What does 1MB represent then? Thank you, Genevieve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJW Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I assume the 1.0 MB is the number of megabytes in the image: 440 x 620 x 4 bytes-per-pixel = 1,091,200 bytes. (Don't know why it didn't say 1.1 MB.) The 94.3 KB is the size of the file. It looks like you're saving it as a JPEG file, which considerably compresses the image, reducing the file size. If it didn't, there'd be no reason to use JPEG instead of BMP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Brewster Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 The value reported in the Resize dialog is the uncompressed size, which is how much memory (RAM) it will require for editing in Paint.NET.
