Somewhere I've seen that monitors show 96 pixels to the inch. 34 inches of height would be 3264 pixels.
In so doing, lost details as you squeezed pixels together.
As pixels were squeezed together.
If you reduce it to 25%, groups of 4x4 pixels will be represented by one pixel (I think). If you then enlarge it, those lost details will become larger lost details. Not what you want.
As you practice this approach, you'll find how much you can reduce it to have it maintain the details. I've done this using plain old MS Paint. Also remove blank edges and other details that don't really tell the story. If five colored wires come off of a spool and go to the left, delete the right half of the spool -- it doesn't help you!
I've got several ways to use Paint for this. Ask if you want details.
Thanks Ernie,
I was hoping that Excel would treat pictures as a vector based graphic, sort of like PDF, where details aren't lost based on SHRUNK dimensions of the picture.
I used MS Paint years and years ago, but have switched to MS Picture Manager.
Infinitely more flexible, easy to crop, re-size, shrink, etc..
Best of all, you can save images in relatively small sizes by using JPG or GIF file format, unlike Paint, which last time I tried it, only allowed saving files in HUGE BMP.
Give Office Picture Manager a whir:
