steve | I used photoshop to crop and shrink the image I just uploaded, but there are a few decent pic editing programs to be found via google. Google itself has its own - called Picasa, and apparently that is very good.

steve | Most platforms come with Microsoft Photo Editor as standard where you can change a pics size when saving it under 'save as'.

If you dont have photo editor - as KtKtKt says picasa is a good option - or GIMP from Gnu soft (also a free download) be careful how you search for it tho  - or just google freeware photo editors - there are a fair few to choose from
also stu took the size limit off the forum and unid'd galleries - smaller is still better re upload times but you can upload your pics without resizing so long as you dont try and put them in the subject galleries

Your problem is the physical image size, not the jpeg size. You need to either crop or re size the image down to an ideal 880x600 pixels, that's the size the sites software displays the image if it's larger than that. | |
