Scaling, cliping and exporting, best methods?
#1
Hi,

Running GIMP 2.8.10 on Windows 7 for now.  I have been asked to upload pictures of staff in to our email program so that when you send an email, to someone internal to our company, the picture is included so people see who you are.

We are running Exchange 2007 and its requirements for the pictures are 96x96 pixels and under 10KB in size, jpg file.  The pictures I have been given are in the realm of 5000x3864 pixels and 200MB so I need to pare them down.

I tried cropping and then scaling and that seemed to work except when I tried to export it to jpg it said the file size was around 20K.  So I tried to adjust the quality and to get to 10K but that left the subject of the picture unrecognizable.

Any suggestions on how to get there from here?  Is there a better order of operations or some other feature I missed that would help me meet the requirements but keep a reasonable picture?

Thanks in advance,
Linn
