Compression posted images files
-
Hi I am uploading a file, using HTTPPostedFile. Uploads are going fine but i want to compress the posted file (a JPEG image actually) on the fly (i.e. before storing in the database). For example if the client computer has selected a JPEG image file of 1056 Kb, the file uploaded / saved file size is reduced to , say 200-300 kb. Can this be accomplished? Any help would be appreciated Africa is a though country --"Hello daar vir die Afrikaans sprekendes"--

Since JPEG images are already compressed by their very nature, you won't get to compress them any more than MAYBE 1%. The only method you have is to reduce the actual image size, from say 1280x1024 down to 320x240 and store that. This is the only way your going to save space. Unfortunatly, you can't blow the picture back up to it original size without a severe penalty in image quality. RageInTheMachine9532

JPEG is a lossy compression algorithm: if he wants to lose some image quality, he can keep the image size and further reduce the file size, with a loss on the image size (a drop to 25% image quality produces a way better result than a shrink/expand to 25% size). I see dumb people
