I'm not being allowed to join the Graphic Converter forum because (evidently) the download was free, so I turn here.
When I make a copy of a jpeg in Graphic Converter (Version 6.4) to edit, the file shows up in my System Drive as LARGER than the original. From 756 kb to 1.6 mb. This defies all sense. What is being added? When I convert it to black and white, it's still at 1.6 mb.
Thanks so much!

Hmmm! But does it!
Playing around with that, I find this:
In GC's browser the file is shown as 1.2MB
A copy saved to the desktop shows in Get Info as 1.7MB
The Exif file in GC shows as File Length 1.2 MB, Memory 16.5MB (22.0MB)
I have been using GC for years and still find some of it mystifying!
If it is important to you I don't mind emailing Torsten Lemke and asking him, and will then post back (should be quick, the guy never sleeps), but you should really pay for this superb shareware and have that facility yourself!
Thanks, Klaus. I must add that I didn't steal GC--my version was free from the site some years ago.
I am simply interested in reducing jpeg sizes for a PDF ebook, and iPhoto seems even more limited than me in image editing.

I didn't think so for a moment - I was only suggesting that the full (paid for) version might, repeat might, work better than what may have been a trial version.
I see that Preview lets me export to a smaller resolution with no fuss. Thanks again.
Graphic Converter jpegs increase in size when reduced?!
