Image Agent! Product Description Introducing Image Agent, a powerful, integrated image conversion tool for NeXTSTEP Release 3.0. With Image Agent users can simply drag and drop non-native image files directly into graphic applications, such as Diagram! 2, Concurrence, Pages, and have the images instantly appear. Image Agent transparently performs the image conversion as if it were part of the actual application in use. Additionally, image files from PCs, Macintoshes and Sun Workstations can now be easily imported over a network into NeXTSTEP applications. Supported image formats include: TIFF, GIF, PS, EPS, TARGA, PICT, MacPaint, PCX, DCX, Windows BMP, MTV, IFF/ILBM, Sun Raster, JPEG (JFIF), XWD, XBM and others. Image Agent allows NeXT users to share, access and import a wide variety of images from many different computer platforms. Images from other platforms can be effortlessly integrated into page layout, drawing and imaging applications under NeXTSTEP 3.0. For those requiring more image conversion options, Bäcchus offers Pixel Magician!, its advanced image conversion application. Pixel Magician provides mass conversion, precise scaling, variable aspect ratios and image resolutions, alpha channel support, dithering, color quantization and flexible output options. Features and Benefits • Drag/Drop – Non-native images can be dragged and dropped directly into NeXTSTEP applications. • Transparent image conversion – No interface is required. Image Agent performs the conversion as if part of the actual application. • Multiple extensions – Image Agent can recognize many different filename extensions for any given format. • Supports a wide variety of image formats – Formats include: JPEG (JFIF), NeXT FAX, DCX, TIFF, PICT (Raster Only), TARGA, PS, EPS, PCX, Windows BMP, Sun Raster, GIF, IFF/ILBM, MacPaint, XBM, XWD and MTV.

The answer was simple and is a mistake I see over and over again. The original image, which was large, was scaled to a small image size in a web site creation program, not an image editing program. DO NOT resize your images in your website design program. The result will be a small image with the same file size . DO resize your image in your image editing program.

Image Formats
Image Formats Ioannis Rekleitis Many different file formats • JPEG/JFIF • Exif • JPEG 2000 • BMP • GIF • WebP • PNG • HDR raster formats • TIFF • HEIF • PPM, PGM, PBM, • BAT and PNM • BPG CSCE 590: Introduction to Image Processing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_file_formats 2 Many different file formats • JPEG/JFIF (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is a lossy compression method; JPEG- compressed images are usually stored in the JFIF (JPEG File Interchange Format) >ile format. The JPEG/JFIF >ilename extension is JPG or JPEG. Nearly every digital camera can save images in the JPEG/JFIF format, which supports eight-bit grayscale images and 24-bit color images (eight bits each for red, green, and blue). JPEG applies lossy compression to images, which can result in a signi>icant reduction of the >ile size. Applications can determine the degree of compression to apply, and the amount of compression affects the visual quality of the result. When not too great, the compression does not noticeably affect or detract from the image's quality, but JPEG iles suffer generational degradation when repeatedly edited and saved. (JPEG also provides lossless image storage, but the lossless version is not widely supported.) • JPEG 2000 is a compression standard enabling both lossless and lossy storage. The compression methods used are different from the ones in standard JFIF/JPEG; they improve quality and compression ratios, but also require more computational power to process. JPEG 2000 also adds features that are missing in JPEG. It is not nearly as common as JPEG, but it is used currently in professional movie editing and distribution (some digital cinemas, for example, use JPEG 2000 for individual movie frames).

About Graphics/Digital Images
About Graphics/Digital Images Digital images are found in lots of file formats (types) that are used for various reasons. I liken the file formats to flavors of ice-cream, which you might or might not choose to consume on any given day. One day chocolate is more important than mint; another day you might use vanilla, and on another day you might decide to combine more than one flavor in the same bowl. Likewise, you might choose one type of graphic file for a particular project, but it might be completely inappropriate for another project. What works well for display purposes (keeping it on the computer, or for publication to the internet) might not print well. Something that prints well might be too big a file to post to the internet, or may make your program run too slowly. Also, some authoring programs (like Boardmaker or Classroom Suite) might be written to only understand certain types of image files. Some file types are more common than others, and are more likely to be recognized by the “parent” program (the one you use to display, edit or print your image). Whatever type you pick ultimately depends on how you plan to use the image. The more technical definitions provided below are taken from the glossary found at http://www.photoshopelementsuser.com/glossary.php?letter=B The additional comments I have added, and hopefully let you know why you would care about any of this, anyway. The two biggest types of images I describe here fall loosely into two categories: vector images and bitmap images.
