How do I make my JPEG's small enough to post?

Left click on image, choose edit, Resize, or Send to/open with a Photo shop/suite type program & resize!

As stated above, something like PS works... or a viewer/editor like Irfanview or even Paint.

Open the photo (say, photo1.jpg) in paint and press Ctrl-E (Edit/Attributes menu - it has to be below 100k for the board software to allow it to be uploaded).

Then, press Ctrl-W (Edit/stretch/skew menu, where you change it) and type in 90 for the horizotal and vertical axes. This shrinks the pic 10% in size. You don't want to whack it down all in one shot because you can introduce a lot of ugly artifacts.

Then, go to file, save as and save it as a new file (photo1_resized.jpg) and keep pulling it down by no more than 10%. It'll take a few iterations, but it'll look better overall.

you dont have to resize the pciture just change the image compression.
that's how you get to see the big pics attached. when you save it go to properties/options (if there ) and change the compression to that the image screen size stays the same but the file size deacreases.
You dont need much resolution for web pics

The attached pic 12a is 13kb,
Pic 12b is 8.5kb
obviously the more you compress the worse the image but you can still get it quite small in KB size

How's yours doing?

No need to purchase software like Photo Shop for basic editing, etc.

Get Irfanview for free:

No ads, spyware, upgrade offers, or other BS. It just works.

If you save as a JPG in Paint, you're going to get a very unacceptable quality image since you can't decide what to set the quality as in Paint for JPG. If I use Paint for any reason I save as a PNG. You would think they would have made Paint easier to use and added some of the very obvious features that it should have a long time ago.

As someone said, use Irfanview. There are several free graphics applications out there worth having. Personally, I don't like Irfanview, because it lacks some features I want, but it's free and it does a lot of useful things for a free application. I'm just so used to Photoshop that I'm spoiled.

As the above poster said, no malware or any of that. Just good, free, quality working software.
