I'm trying to convert the pictures I have taken to black and white files with much lower information content so that I can place a number of them in a Word document and send without loading down the recipient's computer. The .JPG picture files I have currently stored on my computer run typically 160K in size but when I try to modify them to black and white they end up being larger, typically double, but - as high as 30M in one case! I'm currently using IrfanVeiw but without much luck. Anyone have some advice?
