    Do you have a pic processing program, like Adobe , or picture perfect, if you do transfer the pic there and down size it to around 100 KB then when ya put it into jpeg form it will be around 50 KB just right for posting..

    I agree. A digital photo has a height and width in pixels. In your favorite paint program, like Paint Shop Pro, you can change the Image Size. I usually find that 500 to 600 pixels wide is wide enough for most people's PC monitors. Reducing the image size will also reduce file size to something more reasonable. Once you save it as a .jpg file it should be within reason. I like PhotoShop, which has an "optimize for the web" function that works like a charm to save photos for web use.
