Help...a question about posting pics

All my scans are about 400K...how do you "dumb-down" a scan to be able to display it here??

Thanks is advance.

It depends on the software, but changing the image size works in Photoshop.

I have program called "Microsoft Photo Editor." Under "image" button it has a "resize" option that reduces the picture in 5% increments. I keep reducing the size of the picture, checking it on "Windows Explorer" until it is small enough to be posted here.

The smaller you make the picture, the more detail it loses. Therefore I create a separate file for the picture that I post here and keep the larger orginal picture.

You need to reduce it to 50k or less with some type of photo software. I have Microsoft Photodraw that works for me.

Yeah...the old software thing...I have a Minolta Dimage with it's own software, butI'll be damned if I can do anything more that color and tone functions...I have found my tech-weakness. Back to the drawing board....thanks...I'll try

You noticed that too??

I love that picture! Kennedy was haunting me that day for some reason. I have no idea what that is but it showed up on the picture when I downloaded it from the camera. It sure looks like a face to me.

Thats good advice, its best to NEVER save over the original picture since it is best to work with the original raw version of a picture when changing sizes and in the future you might want to use a larger picture then the one you currently made. So always save the new edited photo to a file with the same name and add a letter (like s for small) or a number for version 1,2 ect.
