need minor coin photo help from you guys.

Try as i might, i can't seem to reduce the size of my pictures to the size where they are acceptable for my NGC Signature Set. Can someone assist me in getting these down below 120k each? Also, i realize this may be able to be done in a photo editing software program? if so, which one would you recommend for future efforts? thanks!

    These are all under 120k keeping them as big visually as possible. I don't use NGC registry, so not sure if there are size requirements as well as file size?

    I use a shareware program I bought years ago called paintshop pro.

    I cropped some of them just a little to remove any excess around the coin then looked at their size. Most were just a little over 120k, so I resized them to a percentage of original (most cases it was 90-94%) until they showed about 112-116k or so.

    Glad they worked for you.
