This tutorial will demonstrate how to convert a .BMP screenshot into a .JPG picture using Microsoft Paint (which comes with Windows XP). This will allow the author to upload the image to TESSource.net and showoff the mod. The .JPG image format is much smaller and TESSource.net can automatically generate thumbnails of your pictures when you upload your mods. | This tutorial will demonstrate how to convert a .BMP screenshot into a .JPG picture using Microsoft Paint (which comes with Windows XP).

'''NOTE''': If you already have .JPG files and they are over 300kb, you probably don't have any compression enabled and are waisting valuable bandwidth. Follow these steps and simply re-save over the same file. Generally speaking, individual screenshots shouldn't be larger than 200kb. If you're argument for larger images is for greater detail, try zooming in (cropping) the images to concentrate the viewing. | '''NOTE''': If you already have .JPG files and they are over 300kb, you probably don't have any compression enabled and are waisting valuable bandwidth.
