DON'T USE JPEG for B&W line drawings and such! JPEG hates the simplicity of
line-art and runs amok when it tries to compress it, resulting in a huge
file and poor image quality. Reduce the number of colors in the drawings to
16 or less (I've had good luck using a custom palette of black, white and
two greys) and save as GIFs. For best results adjust the brightness and
contrast of the images to eliminate any greyness or texture from the
background before reducing colors.

Garden's books, Yacht Designs and Yacht Designs II,
are almost as fun to read as Bolger's. I think there is a version of both
books
combined in print now (Tiller Publishing). There are several designs that
started with similar
criteria to some of PCB's designs. Interesting to compare the results.
Both books are worth getting on inter-library loan.
Thanks to everyone for helping me with image re-sizing,

Better to use a two color GIF format.
After a lot of trial and error, in my opinion, jpegs are not the
most efficient image format for line drawings. There is something
about the jpg loss compression that blurs the lines.
A two color gif is actually smaller than a jpg for line drawings.
Jpegs are still the best choice for photos.
Irfanview is a great freeware image manipulation program. Use the
commands: Image:'Decrease Color Depth' and choose '2' and then
File:'Save As' and choose 'GIF'.

I took the liberty of converting them to JPG. If you want to keep
control of them I will delete them and you can do it. They opened in MS
paint on my computer rather than in the browser. I just hit "save as" an
selected jpeg as the format rather than bit map. If you scanned them
your scanner probably has the choice of how you save them also.
Any of the image manipulating programs will give you the option of how
to save them. MS Paint and MS Photo editor, Adobe photo editor, Paint
Shop pro etc.
My Goodness that Tlingit!! If I saw that go by I would never have
picked it as a Garden design.

Hi Mustin,
There are many free image manipulation tools around, and you are not
required to join paypal (Borgware) to get to them. You may heve one
on your computer now and just arent aware of it yet.
Whats OS are you using?
Windows?
What version, 95, 98, XP?

Is there an easy way to do it?
All help appreciated.

Wow! Nice sketches of some pretty cool designs, Really got my
creative juices bubbling away. But heck, 5000 KB for a B+W sketch!
How about deleting them, resaving and reposting your scans as jpegs.
They'd be clearer and probably end up at about 70 KB.

I posted some new house boat designs and a camper design in Bolger
II. One of the designs is in a folder called Fiddler the other two
were posted in the Bolger large boat file. I really like the All
Weather Houseboat. It all most looks like a tall stern Tugboat.
