Hi guys,

I have a few pics loaded on my computer from my digi camera. Problem is they are all 400 kb or so. How do I shrink them down to size (100 kb). I tried everything. When I go to my camera shop program I shrink it down to like 10% of size and then save it and it still does not work. I think it is just shrinking it on my screen and not actually shrinking down file size wise. I am not a compu genius but not useless either but just can't figure it out.

Help please,
Ray

try a differtent type of file, i'm not completly sure which one is the lightest - someone will clarify?

PSP is good for converting but I think (may be wrong) that MS Photoshop can do a little too.

all you need to do is open up the picture with camedia and resize it. when you have resized it check the picture properties to check the file size.

If your running Windows XP you can download a MS Add-on that will allow you to resize the image simply by right clicking on it.

Either resize the image to be smaller dimensions, or also save at a higher jpeg compression (lower jpeg quality)

Do you have MS Office? It's got a photo editor which is very good and should do everything you need.
