hey guys i'm currently trying to post a pic from my digi camera on the picture forum and it's original size was like 428MB and i can only get it to like 128KB and it's like really small at that size. I've seen pics on here that look alot bigger than 100kb. Any help would be great.

thanks -BTHunter

sounds like you are saving it as a bitmap pic? you need to save it as a Jpeg... then resize it to 400X600 pixil...

hmmmmmmmm i checked the pic and it is saved as a jpeg and had a friend that has photoshop shrink it down to 128 but now it's really small. This is frustrating...i'm a college student that can't even figure out how to post a pic on a forum. On the upside i just passed my senior comprehensive exam so now i can graduate this spring!

Oh great now there is another smart ass technologically challenged kid running around....

just kidding JT.. congrats sweetie!

I really meant to say BT...blond moment...

Are you on 2000 or XP, or what?

Right click, "open with" and then open it with Microsoft Office Picture Manager.

Click "edit pictures," then "crop." Crop out the sides and top to get rid of the extra stuff.

Then click "resize" and resize to "predefined web-small."

You'll get it.

Even easier ... Check out Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP, and install Image Resizer. This PowerToy enables you to resize one or many image files with a right-click.
