iPhone photo default size / dimension is too big - Fix?

iPhone space is expensive

When we take a photo with the iPhone (3g and 4s-at least), it's approx 2MB (for a jpg)!

We can have more room in iPhone storage for more music, photos, etc...


My Windows-7 detects the phone and Windows-Explorer auto-opens; therefore, I can drill down into phone/files - only to the photos and simply drag-um-over. They're all huge!


Printing a 2MB pic is big enough to cover a whole bed-room wall.

We should be able to set this to: 1 MB, 512K, 256K

- or set defualt photo dimensions


New cameras are the same (even if JPG is selected)

With some cameras, users can set a default picture-size / or rather dimensions re: 4x4, 3x5 (or 10x8, 12x12, 12x14) and the like...

This results in tiny file size.


Note:

  • JPG is a deviation from MPG
  • MPG came first as MPEG (audio + video)
  • Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG) developed so a surgeon in New York, can assist (video-conference) w/a operation in Los Angeles

iPhone 4S, iOS 6.0.1
