I simply grabbed my digital camera and set it to take a picture at 1024x768 so that a real-life example of image resizing could be used.
The original image is 1024 x 768 and 215K in size.

This time, we selected maximum size 400, and chose the greyscale filter (when we choose a filter, the quality is automatically set to best, regardless of selection) This gives us a 400 x 300 image that is only 12K in size.

Finally, we selected 25% and the Sepia Filter, and we get a 256 x 192 image that is 6.7K in size.
