I am working on an elevation certificate for a new equipment pad, the county is requiring this for plan approval. The existing gravel is 5' above the BFE and the county only requires 2' of free board. They are requesting photos even though the elevation is not for insurance purposes, I have never had to submit photos before just for getting plans approved when there is nothing to take a photo of except bare gravel. I did not take any photos while on site (2 1/2 hours from office), the client had some recent ones but they are 4 MB each and I do not know if I can shrink them enough to use. That is not my forte, is it possible to reduce them to 300KB for insertion in the certificate if I have to have them.
TIA for any help.
I am using Stephen's form.

You can open the pics in Paint and use resize to shrink them down to a reasonable size.
You need a photo editing program with resizing capability. I use the old PolyView but there are many programs.
The main thing you need to do is reduce the pixel count from thousands on each axis to maybe 800x600 or even less. Then select the amount of jpeg compression to get a modest file size while retaining just sufficient resolution. Photos posted to the web at 800x600 are typically ok compressed 300k bytes or less.

Still using PolyView myself. Look for the Parrot icon. If it ain't broke, ...
You can accomplish this by opening your photo in microsoft office and using a tool on the right hand side of the screen to compress the photo.

Yes....easily done in MS Office...don't know about Macs.
Resize will compress.
Thanks for the help, I will try the suggestions.
