Ok, several people have indicated to me that they would like help with photo resizing.

First Download the following program IrFan View (http://www.irfanview.com/)



Then follow these steps
Q: How to reduce saved file size from XX to YY KB?
A: There is no one-click solution for that, sorry.
1. Open an image.
2. Go to menu Image->Resize/Resample and reduce the image dimensions in pixels.
3. Go to menu File->Save as, choose JPG and save as new file (see also JPG save options like: lower JPG quality, uncheck EXIF, etc.).
4. Look at the file size of the new file. If still too big, repeat the steps, using smaller pixel size and/or lower quality, etc.
X. For many images, use File->Batch Conversion, Advanced options.

Thank you for the research, Lots of letters floating around there??? I'll have my son look at it. He's a lot more up on this tech. stuff. He just may be able to dummy it down to where it makes sense to even me. Mike
