Your images are now 2912x2184 pixels.

Open your picture in photoshop and click on the image menu > image size. The current resolution will be displayed.

Change the resolution to 1024x768 and then select 'save as'

When the dialog box appears.. choose "medium" to "low" settings in the "quality" slider bar. This should give you an image of around 80 to 120Kb which is perfect for posting in the forum.

Glad to be of assistance.

Just drag and drop your image into the photoshop icon. Photoshop will fire up automatically.

Use the image editing program that came with your digicam then. The principles are exactly the same... reduce the resolution to around 1024x768 and then use the "save as" option to increase the jpg compression.

Kudos to you ... for your patience.
