I am sure that you are able to resize the oictures in Photo Editor. However, I do not remember the commands. Not much help. I think that you might find a command called sample for the web, or something like that Otherwise, try looking for something like attributes.<br>Sorry that I can't be more specific, but I am sure that the Photo Editor can do it.

Take a good look at Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0. You can get it for $99.99 and sometimes with a $30.00 mail in rebate. PSE 2.0 has much of the functionalitiy of Photoshop at a much lower price. Of course one of the things you can do is easily change pic size.<br><br>Go to adobe.com and check it out. You can order online or at most electronics stores like bestbuy.

In MS Photo Editor:<br>Open the pic you want to resize, click on the Image button at the top of the tool bar, click on Resize in the drop down list. To the right of the word width is a percentage box. Reduce the percentage (the height will automatically be reduced to keep the same aspect ratio as the original as long as Allow Distortion&quot; is unchecked). Save the picture now. Look in explorer to see how large picture is now. You might have to open and resize it a few times to get it to 200KB.<br>Good Luck,<br>Rob

When I take pictures expressly for the forum, I dial the resolution on my camera down to 640x480 pixels. This is the ideal posting size and doesn't require any further editing.<br><br>Tom

Re:How do I resize my pic's?????

Dog, reduce the resolution on your camera first, if you can't, download them and bring them up in your image software, click on file at the top, and then SAVE AS, this will let you save it with a different file name and size if you tell it to. Windows should ask you for a file name and also what type format, choose jpeg and the smaller compression. I just took a pic at 70K and bumped it to 140mb to be able to print a photo quality pic to print for a freind. Unless you have a 1gh to 2 gh processor, be prepaired to wait a while for it to do the save. Hope this helps.Or send it to me and I'll see if I can resize for you and return in smaller format

Lower your camera resolution first. Hotram's advice is the best and cheapest (imho) solution if you (like me) occasionally ferget to set the resolushun thang.
