JPEG file too large

[cairo]

I opened my scanned graphic in Microsoft Digital Imaging and saved it as a
web site jpeg file (small) when opening up the new smaller file into
Frontpage I get either get two or three on a page. What am I doing wrong?

After fixing this problem can I then place my pictures, animations and text
on my scanned graphic (as my background)?

Have you made thumbnails of the images?

I used Microsoft Digital Imaging and following their instructions I would
only need to save my scanned graphic into their Save a copy for ....
email/web. Why would I make a thumbnail of image. Can you walk me thru this
process?

Thanks alot

I used Microsoft Digital Imaging. Should I be using another program and can
you recommend?

Thanks very much

Probably not. I just think that you need to learn basic image processing
skills about cropping, properly sizing and optimizing your photos. Whether
or not you need thumbnails depends on what you what to do with your images.
I hope you've read the article I mentioned in an earlier post.

Thanks for the article will read this am. I have used Microsoft publisher
for the past 15 years so cropping, resizing etc.. is not unfamiliar but using
them in a website (my first one) is the issue here. I think I have sized the
image correctly I just don't understand why I would get a double or triple
image of my background side by side?

Cant thank you enough for all your help!

Ok, I have 7 and 10, and under 10 (which may be similar to 9) when you select to save for the web,
you have 4 web options:

thumbnail
Small
Medium
Large

I would choose Medium or look at the size, and select one that 50 kb or less.

Titling background image. Use CSS to have no-repeat.
By the way be sure NOT to use anything Publisher produces for your web
pages!

It sounds like what you're describing is the background "tiling". You
haven't actually produced multiple versions of the image. FrintPage is
doing that automatically to fill the background with the image as it
was sized. There are ways to prevent this (check previous messages on
this group).

HTH.

Actually, FP is doing nothing. It's the browser that is tiling the image as
it should without being told not to.
