Jackie, go online and google, 'free picture sizing'. It will reduce the photo so it can be safely uploaded. Many color pic are way over 1 million pix. Most mail boxes and other sites can only handle less then 5 megs. I hope this makes sence since it has been years since I tried. Even my black and whites loaded easier. Unfortunatly I lost all my pics. Trying to locate all my post and retrieve some. Good luck

Jackie, I just located the one I used online. It was FREE & SIMPLE. Go to www.picresize.com and follow. When you get to their home page, go to #1 which lets you browse your pc. Generally pics are located inC:\Windows\Pictures. But once you browse, it will bring up whichever picture you select. #2 select size you want. I usually had good luck reducing by 2/3's. Made a sharper pic. #3 save. Make a new folder for your reduced pics. When you have all of the pics you want reduced, then you can send to anyone! Just use the paperclip symbol in your email, browse to your new folder and select the pic you want to send. Just as easy as roping a 460! Well maybe a PR. Have fun.

Jackie, if I'm reading your reply correctly, it says you downloaded the app. That is a NO-NO! The app I referred you to is an free online app. You just click on what you want to do with the picture. Where it says browse, they want you to point to the folder that has your pictures. Then you click on the pic you want to scale down. I usually divide the total pixels by 3 and take it down by 1/3! then save as and rename it. When you are ready to post it, just attach it from the folder you put it in. Double clicking the renamed picture. It will load (might take a minute or two) then attach.
