Attention: There is a prevalent email scam happening everywhere where the sender claims to have a password to a site and demands money in some form. Ignore it, do not respond and at most change passwords on any sites you frequent.

Effective immediately, moving or animated GIFs are not allowed in signatures. If your signature has one, please remove or replace it asap. Staff will remove them as and when we see them without notice.

Sincerest apologies to everyone for the recent blackout. VEF and several of our sister forums had a major server malfunction. The database index is being rebuilt from scratch and may take at least several days to be fully restored. Expect major weirdness and lots of glitches in the meantime. Thank you all for your patience and understanding.

Unfortunately it seems that all of the posts made from the 13th March until the crash are permanently lost, please feel free to re-post any such material, apologies for this.

First my environment: Hardware: Epson Perfection V200 Photo scanner Software: xsane-0.995 (Linux) I scan magazines at 300dpi with this environment, which produces PNM files which are about 25MB (2544x3509 pixel, depth 24). Of course I can't (or am not willing) upload these images directly to an image hoster. Therefore I currently convert the images with the convert program from ImageMagick: convert -resize '1680x1680>' infile outfile.jpg; This produces images with a maximum side length of 1680 pixels, the image size is about 300 KB. My question: Is there a better way to compress the images to a reasonable size? __________________ PM me if my uploads are no longer available, I will re-upload them
