Note: Since with most 1-D gels you are more concerned with resolving bands in the
vertical direction than the horizontal direction, you may want to reduce the file
size by making rectangular pixels. That is, keep the pixel size in the “y”
dimension the same, while increasing the size in the “x” dimension.
When you are finished, click on the OK button.
A pop-up box will give you the option of reducing the file size of the displayed image
or making a copy of the image and then reducing the copy’s size.
Reducing the file size is an irreversible process. For that reason, we suggest that you
first experiment with a copy of the image. Then, when you are satisfied with the
reduced image, delete the original.
