Do you mean you want to resize an image dynamically (make its width and
height smaller)?
Or you want to change a quality/resolution of your image (decrease the
number of colors)?

Look at this

You should check EncoderParameters Class (System.Drawing.Imaging),
which you can use when you create a new image.

You need to create a new Bitmap from the original image and set all
parameters you need. There is no way to set the size of the file of
target Bitmap and you have to play with resolution and quality
settings.

Sample code (VB):

Dim SourceBitmap As Drawing.Bitmap = New Bitmap(imageSrc)
Dim TargetBitmap As Drawing.Bitmap = New Bitmap(imageHeight,
imageWidth)

' To set resolution 72 dpi

Const res As Single = 72
TargetBitmap.SetResolution(res, res)

Dim objGraphics As Drawing.Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(TargetBitmap)

Dim objEncoder As Imaging.EncoderParameters

objGraphics.CompositingQuality = Drawing2D.CompositingQuality.Default
objGraphics.InterpolationMode =
Drawing2D.InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic

' Take a look MSDN for CompositingQuality and InterpolationMode -
there are many other settings

Dim recCompression As Rectangle = New Rectangle(0, 0, imageHeight,
imageWidth)
objGraphics.DrawImage(objSourceBitmap, recCompression)

objEncoder = New Imaging.EncoderParameters(2)

' Tell it to be "Encoder.Quality" with the desired iJPGQuality
objEncoder.Param(0) = New
Imaging.EncoderParameter(Imaging.Encoder.Quality, 85) ' 100 - quality
0..100
objEncoder.Param(1) = New
Imaging.EncoderParameter(Imaging.Encoder.Compressi on,
Imaging.EncoderValue.ColorTypeCMYK) ' 100 - quality 0..100

I would also recommend to look for more samples

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...oderParameters

etc.
