How do I change a JPEG picture to a TIF picture?

Answer 1

Wow! That's a pretty big file. First of all, you need to shrink it down substantially. Open "Paint" (Start->All Programs->Accessories->Paint). Open your file. Click Ctrl+W to open the Stretch/Skew window. You should see an option for horizontal skew, and vertical skew. Change them both to about 25%. The image should shrink. Save the file as a JPG.

TIF files are enormous, so you really want to avoid them if your concerned about file size. JPGs are always the best bet.

If you have access to Photoshop, when you save a JPG file, it allows you to choose a compression level. If you choose 10, it reduces the file size a great deal without really affecting the image quality.

Answer 2

For the large BMP file, you can use save for web in adobe photoshop, choose optimized and select the new image size and check the file size below the image to make sure it is below 750 KB. You can also save the file type as JPEG or GIF.

To convert JPEG to TIF use save as and type in TIF file type in adobe photoshop or any image editing software.
