I loaded the image resizer from Midrosoft Powertoys a long time ago. Only have to right click the image and pick the size. Have you tried this and
if so any negatives?

No, I got hooked into Neal Johns' method and it has worked fine for me and everyone I have showed how to use it... No downloading programs, no upgrade
to XP or Vista required, just the paint program which all pcs seem to have.
I am not saying there aren't better or easier methods... just showing the one I use... and you know how many photos I have posted here!

Thanks Hose A
I remember now, it just changes picture size - handy sometimes but no control over the compression which is what one needs to change to post.
I'll take a look at those others also - used to have a great one but won't work on my new computer (1 year) and I think not even on the website
anymore.

How can such a small camera as a digital camera take such large KB photos, and a computer, with all the memory and strength it has, require such small
photo's?
David, i sent the photo to myself, and it's not opening, i'm in way over my head and possibly beyond help. I will have to consult one of my teenagers.
Haven't had a bad trip yet....

That's the problem with just resizing the photo. What makes it nice is to be able to change the compression so a larger picture is still under the
50kb size. I used to have a program to do this but don't have it anymore and haven't found another that I can easily do this with.

Great Grover, thanks - I'll take a look at it.
Although now I link from Kodakgallery or Fliker which is real easy especially with Firefox.

Just ran a test on Picnik - had a photo that was 82.8kb so tryed changing the compression - at stage 7 = 77.8kb, at stage 5 = 77.8kb, at stage 3 =
77.8kb. so moving the slider didn't change anything that I could tell.

The program I used before and liked as you select size, then compression and it shows right there the kb output file size. For some unknown reason
(and I asked the developer) I can't find where it stores the reduced photo. It worked great on my earlier computer but not on this one and using XP
home on both. But if it works on your computer I think you will like it ReducePhotoSize by JdmCox. And it's free. (supposed to put reduced photo
in same folder with same name suffixed with X)

Avatars
I've tried in the past to create an avatar but have failed. I guess if I can now post a photo, I'll be able to figure out avatars.
I know I need to be in my profile at the avatar section but....
What are avatars?
How do I create a URL to post it to my profile?
I see some creative avatars (I esp. liked the clown Grover had).... where do they come from?

Is my sig feature broken?
I've gone in to ''edit profile'' because my sig feature wasn't working. Cut, edited profile, then went back in and pasted it and it worked for
awhile. Then it turned off or something.

F*ck it.
