How To Load Pics?

[lee cousens]

Hi sorry for being dense but how do you load pics , every time i try it says files too large , how do you reduce?

To reduce the picture�s size I suggest this small and free program, called, irfanview
http://www.irfanview.com/
Once installed, launch it and open, through the program, the picture you need to resize, clicking on the small folder under "File"

Now select �Image� and then �Resize/Resample�

In the new window select a custom size or use the size presets on the right (like 640 X 480)

Now select �File� (top left) and �save as�. Change the name of the picture (so you�ll not modify the original) and save it wherever you want

Just check that the bar on the right panel is on �best�, so you�ll not loose quality, and that it is a JPG file, for maximum compatibility.

Sorry Carlo i must be doing something wrong, i have reduced the pics as per your directions but it still says " your file of 900.1 kb exceeds limits
do i win prat of the day award?????????

Which is the file size, after the image reduction?
Should be no more than 200-250 kb in the 640 x 480 resolution.
To check this, right click on the image file, select properties and read the size.
