Answer 2

Assuming they are already Jpegs, which is likely since your probably not a pro photographer and using RAW files - then 1. you need to wind the res down on your digital camera so they are sensible sizes (most cameras even have an email setting on them so the pic size is a nice pleasant 300k or so, which is good for emailing and uploading) then 2. you can resize them as soem people here have said. If you have a recent Outlook email client that will even do it for you and one quick way if you don't have £300 worth of image manipulating software is email it to yourself.

Answer 3

1. Resize them so that they are no bigger than they need to be.

2. Assuming they are JPEGs, use an image editor to apply some compression to them. Technically this brings down the image quality but you'd be surprised how much you can bring down the size of the file without affecting the image quality very much.

Answer 4

You can re-size any picture with a photo / picture editor like photo shop, and paint if you haven't got any of these download adobe reader which come's with photo shop starter addition 3.0. Once the photo has been re-sized you can then covert it into a jpeg image.

Answer 5

Use paint shop pro and then convert the images to jpeg. Much smaller image files.
