A. Reduce the Image size to70% of the original image and observe how it looks like

OBSERVATION
It has small size compare to the original

B. Reduce the Image size to30% of the original image and observe how it looks like
It has very small size compare to the original
C.Compare the resulting images (a) and (b) and explain the differences on the two
1. Text Legibility Issues: If the image contains text, reducing it to 30% of the original
size might render the text illegible, as the characters become very small and details
are lost.
WHILE
Better Text Legibility: Text in the image is likely to be more legible compared to a
30% reduction, but the readability may still be compromised, depending on the font
size and original text clarity.

2. Increased Blurring: The reduction in size often involves interpolation and

smoothing to estimate pixel values. This process can result in increased blurring,
making the image look less sharp and well-defined.
WHILE
Mild Blurring: The smoothing effect due to interpolation is less pronounced at 70%
reduction compared to 30%, but there may still be a mild blurring effect, especially in
areas with complex patterns.
 D.Explain the importance of reducing image size for web application

Faster Loading Times: Smaller image sizes result in quicker loading times for web pages.
Large image files can significantly increase the time it takes for a webpage to load, leading to a
poor user experience. Fast-loading pages are essential for retaining user engagement and
satisfaction.

Improved User Experience: Users generally prefer websites that load quickly and smoothly. A
fast-loading website enhances the overall user experience, leading to higher user satisfaction and
increased likelihood of user retention

Reduced Storage Costs: Hosting large image files can be costly in terms of storage, especially
if your web application deals with a substantial amount of multimedia content. By reducing
image sizes, you can save on storage costs and optimize the overall efficiency of your hosting
infrastructure.

Compatibility across Devices: Different devices and browsers may have varying capabilities
for handling large images. Optimizing image sizes helps ensure that your web application is
compatible across a wide range of devices and browsers, providing a consistent user experience.

E. Explain the disadvantages of reducing image size

Reducing the size of an image can have several disadvantages, depending on the context and
purpose of the image. Fore stance:

1. Loss of Detail: One of the primary disadvantages is the loss of image detail. When you
reduce the size of an image, you typically remove pixels, and this can result in a loss of
fine details. This is particularly noticeable in images with intricate patterns or fine
textures.
2. Loss of Quality in Compression: Image compression is often applied when reducing
image size, especially for web and storage purposes. Compression algorithms can result
in a loss of image quality, known as loss compression.
3. Impact on Print Quality: When reducing image size for print purposes, it's crucial to
consider the resolution. If the resolution becomes too low, the print quality may suffer,
and the image may appear pixilated or blurry when printed.
4. Loss of Legibility in Text: If the image contains text, reducing its size may make the
text illegible, especially if the font size is already small. This is a significant concern for
documents, diagrams, or any content where text readability is crucial.
