Okay, I found the Google Picasa2 picture software that someone told me to try out. It reminded me of my ex-wife; looked real good, came in a small package and didn't cost me any money to get. Then, once I got it home, it just sat there looking good but wouldn't do what I needed it to do, so I got rid of her (it).:D

The Picasa software doesn't have any options for picture size reduction. That's whatI need to post the pics of my mods here. If anybody knows of any online software that can help, please let me know.

if you look hard enough, you can find paint shop pro, which an excellent photo editor

ok, plain and simple. open the picture with PAINT, hit control + W.. then type in how mych small you want the pic %..

Maybe it's me. I can't find anything in the Picasa that says "PAINT". I looked in every drop down that I could. No paint.

paint is part of MicroSoft Windows programs

Gotcha, thanks.

Another option to use is Phixr. Its free, its web based, and its a very intuitive photo editor. All you have to do is sign up and then you can load up to three pictures at a time into it. Then you can take each one, resize it, adjust color, draw on it, add shapes and other simple functions. Then once you are satisfied it lets you save your changes to your pc or it can directly upload to most of the common photo hosting sites. Best of all though is that this is really easy to use. Everything has labels when you hover your cursor over them so nothing is confusing. Also if you goof up, big deal. You can undo stuff or start over by reloading the image.

At any rate i suggest that you check it out. If you dont like it, there are other options out there. I just happen to like this one for work because they dont allow me to install anything here. LINK (http://www.phixr.com/)
