picture trouble
Hey Rich,
If the picture is still on your digital camera, you may have a resize option to get the picture to a lower resolution. I've done this on my Fuji to get the picture to 620x400 (or something like that). You need to get the size of the file down to 75000 bytes.
Good luck.

I had the same problem before and I copied (and remembered where I saved it 
) the below instructions on how to shrink a photo. It works pretty well and I believe practically all computers have Microsoft Paint on them. I unfortunately can't take credit for below nor can I recall who posted it here in the first place, but I give him my sincere thanks as I've used it a few times.
Best of luck.......Mark
How to shrink a photo:
1. Use Paint prog in your accessories folder, comes with windows!
(It reads bmp's and jpg's fine)
2. load the file,
3. Select Image in the menu bar, then select Attributes.
4. Write down the height & width there, then hit cancel
5. Divide the height max by the height of the pic, Divide the width max by the width of the pic.
6. Use whichever result is smaller as your conversion factor.
7. Select Image - Stretch/Skew. input your conversion factor in BOTH the horizontal and Vertical STRETCH boxes.
Ignore the skew boxes!
Click OK to see the results.
8. Verify you got it right by doing Image - Attributes again, you can see the resulting pixel sizes or inch sizes there.
9. Save and enjoy.

FokkerD7, I down loaded the JPEG ReSizer and it works GREAT! Here is the result.
It's a lot easier to use than the above post. OnTheEdge, you should try it and let us have your opinion. I setup a source file (C\:JPEG Source) and a destination file (C\:JPEG Dest). I then set the width at 700 pixils and the compression at 45. This gave a destination picture of 72.5 kb.
Thanks,
Ken
