Save your image by right-clicking it and select the Save Image As... option. Save as any file name you like.
While you wait, here is what will happen to your picture: After you hit 'Resize', a copy of your picture will be up-loaded to our Gotheborg.com server. There the copy will be stored as a temporary file. The uploading will take a little while, so be patient. How long, depends on how large your file is and how fast your Internet connection is. Usually a picture from a modern digital will be quite large. It might well take up around 2,500,000 bytes or 2,5 Mb. This is way too large to send via email, especially if you want to send more than one picture.
When the copy has been uploaded to the server, the image will be changed into a bitmap. This means that it will be transformed into a different file type, where each and every pixel*) counts and can be addressed. In this format your picture will be truly gigantic and take up more than ten times its original size on our server. Luckily just temporary.
This bitmap, which is a gigantic landscape of color dots, will now be reduced in size by re-sampling. Group after group of color dots will be melted into just one one, average, color pixel that will replace the previous groups of dots into a new - compressed and size reduced - image file, not larger than 800 times 800 pixel. This process can be made in one way only since the original picture can not be recreated from the compressed copy. This is also why what will appear here on the screen is only a copy of your original file. The original file is still on your own computer.
By now you can probably save your new compressed small picture file by placing the mouse pointer on it, "right-click" on it, and save your new image by selecting the Save Image As... or Save Picture As... option. You can choose any file name you like since the picture is yours and has just been processed by our server. Just make sure you don't replace your original with the copy by mistake. Repeat as many times as you like.
