Windows 10: Why do images save as JPEG intead of JPG or PNG, and then resize it to 12 times smaller...

I am a windows 10 user and I was trying to get wallpapers, then they started saving as .jpeg (i have never seen that), then start shrinking it for no reason!

Save resized item in Paint

Hi. I went to paint with an image specifically to resize and save as a smaller item for use elsewhere. I was able to resie it, but after saving it I open it up and it's the same size as before. Any suggestions?

Signature Images

I have the PMs I sent you asking you to resize the signature picture to those requirements, and also informing you that your quotes were to large.

One sent on 12-10-2007 asking you to resize both your signature image, and your quotes, and one on 12-11-2007 where you said you would.

The rules for signature images clearly sate 500x100 or 19.5 KB whichever is smaller. That means that all signature must be smaller than 100x500 and smaller the 19.5 KB.

Thanks for informing me of the other clubhouse signatures. When I get time they will be told that they must resize their images.

That HD DVD signature can easily be formatted to fit the size constraints. Just ask someone with photoshop. I may do it for you if you like, when I have more time.

 

Save Dialog Resize Problem

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU TO BOTH OF YOU!!! I wound up finding this thread after many, many google searches. I too found myself being driven insane by this bug. So much so that it inspired me to create an account on here to add my input/solution in the hopes of it helping anyone else who finds themselves in the same situation.

I shoot a lot of photos with my DSLR to use in time lapses which I then use the "Load files into stacks" script to load those I wish to animate together. Often I end up with hundreds or even thousands of photos depending on the time lapse I was doing. Because of this, I rely heavily on the ability to constantly resize the dialog box. For example: Say I have a time lapse of 1000 images. I only want to animate every 15th photo for now. I'd then play around with the icon and dialogue box size so there be 15 photos in a row. Now I'd use the ClickLock box to just drag all the way down the browser and easily select every 15th photo in the folder to stack. Yes, I could individually click every X photo but it's still a pain when dealing with a large batch of photos. Yes, I could also just do this using window explorer and dragging the selection over to a new folder. But still though, this is 2015 and I refuse to tolerate any mild inconvenience in my software!!!

*Ahem* *Huh Sorry, got a little impassioned there. Anyways, while both of your solutions would be fine for those who have a preferred size, it would still be a pain for those who rely on the ability to constantly resize the dialog box like myself. Going off what you two suggested and fueled by spite I figured out a sort of workaround for those in my position:

1. Open up regedit
2. As hjschlicht suggested, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/ComDlg32/CIDSizeMRU
3. At this point you DO NOT need to delete all the keys; since Photoshop is the one affected by the bug then that's the one we only really need to mess with. The way you can tell which one belongs to Photoshop is by looking at the data tab and it will start with the following value 50 00 68 00 6F 00 74 00 6F 00 73 00 68 00 6F 00 70 (which spells P h o t o s h o p in hexadecimal values)
4. Delete the key
5. As Corelogik suggested, open up a load file dialog box(don't resize just yet!) and you will notice that a new key has been created. At this point you can carefully resize the window if you have a preferred specific size like Corelogik. However, if you're like me and need the ability to constantly resize the dialog window, you can just leave it at its default size.
6. And now for the workaround: Click on the name of the registry that holds the Photoshop key so that it is highlighted(mine was '12')
7. Click on Edit > Permissions > Advanced
8. Click on your account, mine was "'My account name'(Myemail@gmail.com)", and then click edit.
9. Under 'Basic permissions:' Uncheck 'Full Control' but leave 'Read' checked.
10. OK > OK > OK > exit out of regedit

Done! Now your dialog size is "locked" since your account is able to "read" the registry containing the dialog window size settings but won't save the larger window size once you exit out since it doesn't have permission to edit the registry. You still won't be able to make the dialog window any smaller if you increase its size but simply exiting out and reopening it will now restore it to the size you originally had it set when you "locked" it.

Hope this helps out anybody else who ends up on this page using their google-fu!! Here's my latest time lapse edit of Sunday's supermoon as a thank you for hjschlicht & Corelogik's tremendous help in (sorta)solving this issue:
