Mine are in cyber space making their way to yours as we speak..
Thanks Boss.
So I was wondering what photo prog you use? I have been experimenting with PDF but Nor says they are coming through with artifacts in them that basically ruins the composition and I should use JPEG exclusively. So I am wondering how you get the huge files down to 200 k like she wants. I got one from 8 megs down to 400 K but don't know what to do to get it down smaller than that. One problem is I cannot see the end result till she posts all the entries so I don't know how to do the sizing or the file size to make it like all the others. I do music and my wife does the graphics so I am trying to stretch myself here. So any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Don.

PaintshopPro is pretty good and not as complex as Adobe Photoshop. To make the photos smaller, re-size them to 800x600 and that should do it.
All the best!
Originally posted by PeachyYes, and then save as JPEG. You'll be able to choose the quality (different programmes do this in slightly different ways, but it shouldn't be hard to figure out). Generally it's a good idea to try quite high quality first and see how big the file gets, and if it's too big, try a lower quality. With a bit of experience it usually doesn't take more than one try. There are also programmes which show you how big the file is going to be before you save.

EDIT; I wasn't complaining! - honest!
