I don't need to use an edit program cause I can set up my digital camera to TAKE the pictures already at the correct size for internet postings. Perhaps your's could be made to do the same...check the instructions under "set up". Hope this is a help. Thanks... _____________________________ Keep Those Fingernails dirty, *GARY* ~Diggermeister~ (in reply to Haulin glass) Post #: 4

Super easy to use and best of all its FREE. http://www.pixresizer.com/ After you load a picture just click on the 'apply recommended button' then 'save picture'. You can also customize the amount of reduction if needed. (in reply to Haulin glass) Post #: 6

You may want to look into IRFANVIEW...it's a proggie that lets you size/edit pics. I think it can be downloaded free , but don't know its addy...maybe searching Google will turn up the correct link... _____________________________ * Member: Bristol Historical Assoc...and, Friends of Steeles Creek Nature Center & Park President: Bristol Tenn-Va Bottle Club Author of: Spirits & Medicinal Bottles of Bristol,TN-VA.

RE: reducing file size - 7/31/2005 7:29:17 PM    Andy4707   Posts: 214 Joined: 5/7/2005 From: Wisconsin Status: offline I have microsoft office picture manager. You can crop and reduce the size of your picture on it. (If you have microsoft software, go to start, my pictures, right click, edit, and it will bring you up to the screen.) It works for me.

I have problems with Irfan for that though. _____________________________ My 10¢ worth (inflation) Eric If you love what your doing it might be illegal, so watch your back.
