Subject: RE: Convert ABC files to GIF images HELP!
Hi Anders
I don't know why your file is taking up so much room. I just did a series of tests (using the image of a tune which I displayed at 100%, & which took up about three-quarters of an ABC2Win page), & got the following results:
GIF (cut & pasted into either Paint or Paint Shop Pro): 13kb (did you switch the interlace option off?) JPG (Paint Shop Pro, lowest compression/highest quality: 118kb JPG (Paint Shop Pro, highest compression/lowest quality: 19kb JPG (Paint): 80kb BMP (Paint Shop Pro): 1.7mb BMP (Paint): 2.5mb Monochrome BMP (Paint): 106kb
If you have any other graphics packages, you can copy the bitmap into it in the same way as you would into Paint, & then save it off in a different format.
