Do you have a photo editting program? One might have come with your camera. The most basic ones will have a resize feature. Some of the photo hosting sites also offer resizing. I am using afreeimagehost.com It is very easy and you can resize more than one at a time. When you click on the resize link it brings up a list and thumbnails of the images you have stored there. You enter the % of the change next to the images you want to change and click the "resize" link at the bottom of the page.

If you have a program and are unsure about how to go about it, post the name of it here and most likely someone uses the same program and can give you tips.

I think I remembered you saying you are using easyshare software....
This program doesn't allow you to resize (pixel) your picture to make it smaller to post on this board. You can however use it to crop the picture to delete unwated parts in the picture or get closer to the subject.
What image hosting site have you choosen to use to post pictures? I would use that to resize before posting. I am using Photobucket.com and it give me an option of resizing my pictures before I post them. You upload them first and then go to "edit" by the photo and it will give you the option of resizing 25%, 50%.
Good luck, I hope it works for you...can't wait to see more of Gunners picts! :D
It takes time to learn all this technical stuff...well it did me anyways. :faint: Keep trying and asking questions. I still don't know what I am doing most of the time but everyone has been so helpful here! :hugs1:

I checked some of your old posts and see you are using villagephoto.com. I opened an account to try it out. They do have a resizing option. You can find it by following the Image Tools link under the thumbnail of the image.

The resizing feature is a bit passed half way down the next page you are taken to.

To resize enter a smaller number in either the width or height box. Be sure the "Maintain Aspect Ratio" box has a check in it so your image does not get all squished looking.

This is my original uploaded size:

It is 14K, 269 X 301

I resized by entering 150 in the width box (replacing 269) and this is what I got:

6K, 150 X 167

I hope this helps.

Thanks everyone this is just great.:D We will try it tonight, we figured out on the Kodak Easy Share but didn't know we could also do it on Village Photo. Thanks everyone--you GUY'S are all the greatest:) . We have to be little pros by the time we get Petunia, since everyone will expect picture.
