PICTURE HELP

[richard widder]

WHEN TRYING TO POST MY PHOTO FINDS. IT SAYS NO FILE LARGER THAN 420KB. AND JUST ONE OF MY PICTURES SAYS 920KB. ANY THOUGHTS ON HOW TO CHANGE IT SO ITS DOWN TO UNDER 420KB? ANY HELP WOULD BE WELL APPRECIATED. I KNOW IT SOUNDS STUPID FOR MOST. BUT I TRIED BOTH MY CAMERAS. MY 5MP AND MY 7MP CAMERA. CALL ME DUMB. BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SHOW PIX AND NOT JUST WORDS. THNX.

I think everyone uses something different, there's many ways,I open the pic in "windows office picture manager", select "picture" from the tool bar, select "compress" then choose the option "compress for web pages", save changes or rename and your set. Images end up under 100 KB but look fine online.

I can normally just click on one of my photos and windows photo viewer comes up .... then in the upper left you see the words OPEN. It a drop down and i select paint. Once in paint you just find RESIZE. Normally where it says 100.... if you change that to 30 then save it you dont have any problem.

Same as Dew. Except that I open the Paint program first, open the drop-down menu (top left) and click "open" to select the photo, resize it 20% and then resave it.

I do it just like Dave. The Paint program is great. My computer is a HP, came with the program.

Also, most digital cameras come with a software package -- that includes some type of photo editing software. The one I have loaded with my camera is Canon Digital Photo Professional. This program makes it REALLY easy to save pictures at a variety of sizes...I usually reduce mine down to 800x533 pixels, and at a "medium-high" quality, and then use the "convert and save" option to save the picture as a new, smaller file. That usually ends up giving me files in the 150 to 250 KB range...
