Ok, I am trying to post some photos from our recent camping trip. It says that there is a limit of 250kb per pic. All of mine are like 970 or something. I use a 4.2 megapixel digital camera. How can I fix it so that I can post my photos?

Any photo editing software can resize your photos. If one didn't come with your camera, here's a good freeware program

If you have windows XP, Google has a program called Picasa.

And we use the free shareware Adobe Photoshop 3.0 which can be uploaded from the net.

If you have Windows XP there is a great little progrom available from MicroSoft called Image Resizer.
I take a lot of pics for jops I do & I use Image Resizer all the time. It will resize pics to 4 sizes.
640 x 480, 800 x 600, 1024 x 768, 240 x 320
The default is to leave the original pic there & make a copy of it in the size you choose.
You can also click the advance botton & select to make a custom size, make pics smaller but not larger, & resize the original pic (don't create copies.)
Also if you want to do more than 1 pic you select all the ones you want resized.
Here is whare you can read more about the program & to download it.

try it you will like it.
The below is from the page I gave the link to.

Half the fun of taking pictures is sharing them with family and friends.

While it's great that newer digital cameras can take beautiful 5-, 6-, or 7-megapixel pictures, e-mailing such large photo files can clog up your recipient's Inbox. Resizing pictures before you e-mail them"”or even before you burn them to a CD"”is made simpler using a free Windows XP download called the Image Resizer, which is one of the many handy tools that make up the Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP.

You can also use the Image Resizer to resize photos so they'll fit on a compatible cell phone, personal digital assistant (PDA), or Portable Media Center so you can enjoy your photos while on the go. Using the Image Resizer is easy, and it will preserve your original photos for other uses you may have in the future.

Thanks, I will try it.

Hey! Thanks for all this info.

I have downloaded Picasa and the resizer. I like being able to see all my photos organized upon opening the software and being able to reposition them so easily.

The resizer should solve problems when trying to e-mail large photos. Thanks again for the suggestions!
