I am fairly new and am now willing to share some pics with the brethren. My problem is the files are 1 to 2 MB and they only allow 100KB. How can I compress them to fit. Any suggestions would be appreciated. THX

I personally use PaintShop Pro for resizing my pictures..

you can get a free trial of this program off the web.. but it has a trial basis with it..60-90 days....

there are others on here who have been using a free microsoft program and you can do a search the boards for "photo programs" All Messages and you'll find the link others had posted...

good luck

To reduce the size of images, the quickest method is to use the Paint program built into Windows. When a huge image loads in Paint, only part of it will be displayed. Click on the Image tool and select Stretch/Skew.

In the command box this summons, select Skew, and you will get a display showing the current dimensions at 100 percent tall and 100 percent wide. Change both to 25 percent, and it should fit in the screen. To send this smaller photo to others, use the Save As command to keep from writing over the original.

If you have windows XP ... this is even better:
