Christmas

Some of the stuff I've clipped out using Paint has retained enormous data sizes, not sure why because I so totally SUCK at software & technology. When I don't need to crop something out of an image, IrfanView is my go-to for pretty much everything. I should clarify: Resize and Resample on IV both do their jobs, but they don't reduce the DATA size of the file, only the image size. Discovered this trying to size down a photo I took several winters back of a light pillar with two "snow dogs", bright refractive patches 180 degrees apart caused by airborne ice crystals refracting the rising sun while it was still just barely below the horizon. I even got the pillar centered on the steeple of the church down the street.
