Ichen,
I replied to you, the day you posted. I suggested either
Photoshop or Gimp (which I use) and said that by reducing
the image's resolution fromwhatever to 72 dpi you will
have a very good display on a monitor AND a much smaller
file size. For instance, I shoot at 600 dpi because it
makes really nice prints on photo paper and will blow up
to a fairly large size with no loss of quality and then
reduce to 72 dpi for web publication. The resulting file
size reduction is from 1.5 meg to as little as 150 kb.

Thanks for the email, got it, although I seldom check my hotmail
account. I have neither the Photoshop nor Gimp, nevertheless,
according to your method, I've found I can resize the image in MS
Photo Editor and save it with a much small file size.

Almost any bitmap editor can do what I suggested. Photoshop
and Gimp are what I have access to. Gimp is free and available
for Windoze, Mac and Linux.

For windows, Irfanview is really nice -- and FREE!

I tried it (for Linux) but like Gimp better.
One of the things I do is something like a Batch
size reduction. I can open say 20 photos in Gimp
and resize them all to email friendly size in
about 5 minutes, that's opening, resizing and
resaving about 4 a minute. I could also do that
with Photoshop when I was still using Windoze.

Paint.net works well for me and it is also free.
