Mini-Compressor-Monday

Two Mini-Compressor Mondays ago, we looked at what a fictional real estate posting would look like with pictures compressed to meet an upload maximum of 10 MB.

We continue the series today with another fictional property***** that’s for sale.

Urban Heaven - 500 sq ft studio with 1 bath… Close to all amenities

A cool fountain in the main lobby welcomes you to this ultra-modern and centrally located building, steps from public transportation.  The first thing you’ll see when entering your studio suite is the view!  There is a spacious living/dining/sleeping room.  The kitchen is complete with upgraded touches like granite counters and stainless steel appliances.  The full bathroom has it all – including in suite laundry!  What more could you want?  Don’t delay, buy today!

Some of you astute readers may have picked up on my hints in a previous Mini-Compressor Monday post – maybe I really was trying to sell you real estate… No, I’m still trying to sell you on Mini-Compressor.  However, since many of our customers want to make their image sizes smaller for their real estate businesses, I thought I’d take November to showcase the possibilities of using Mini-Compressor for real estate purposes.

Trick or Treat!  Our sweet, albeit spooky, neighbour Frankie will drop by this week.  Chez SaturdayMP, Hallowe’en prep for the following year begins as soon as the last Jack-o-Lantern is extinguished!

This week, I experimented with which compression quality I needed to make Frankie truly scary (and not just an adorable garden ornament).

Right off the bat, I picked a compression index of 50***** and saw almost no difference, other than size of the jpeg.

For those of you in or near Edmonton, you’ll know that I’ve been longing for summer with Mini-Compressor Monday posts, and that autumn has been upon us for many weeks already.

In our mature neighbourhood, we’re fortunate to walk by big old (red and gold and orange and brown) trees on our way to school.  Being so close to the river valley, everything’s a-colour!  Even the back alleys are pretty.

People all across Canada celebrated Thanksgiving this weekend, including this Saturday MP family!

Here we are thankful for four distinct seasons, a plentiful harvest (cough, behemoth garden), record sales, gainful contracts and wonderful customers!

Here is a photo of Edmonton’s famed river valley, taken last October.

I snapped it to show off to friends who live abroad.  With one right-click, I was able to resize the photo to email.
