Why not change the resolution of the picture afterwards (either with GDI+ or with an external tool like irfanview or imagemagic)?

I frequently use this...to copy pitures/doc's screen shots to emails..

It is really a non sense that it occupies 5Mb per screen shot.

i need to caputure the screen shot and reduce the resolution to less (jpg not bmp) and when i paste it, it should occupy less space.

Thanks,

Alangar

i normally print screen certain images/doc's and paste it in outlook

[10] but when i paste them, the total mail size is around 5 mb per image
[10] whyn't change the default image capture resolution to less, so that i dont need to reduce pic's every time i paste it ?
[10] You should just use Evernote. :)
[10] but i work i a bank
[10] no external applications pls


[10] but i am really not interested in capturing a image and then saving it as a file
[10] and then reducing it
[10] normally print screen and paste should paste the image in a less resolution

Then you will probably have no luck. I never saw an example of in-clipboard image manipulation on this forum.

Z_Gecko,
can't we process this image temporarily in a temp file, reduce a resolution and copy the image ?

Will this not work.?

you can, but it will require an external tool to make the change. Look in the utils section for a command line image resizer, or use imagemagick, which is a command line image resizer...

take the screenshot
save to hard drive
call imagemagick
paste image to document


if you have imagemagick convert the file to a png, it won't be 5MB anymore.

making it a jpg will reduce the file size as much as reducing the resolution. png might even be better.
