Jim & Dave, those are great pics, and it's good to see 'em, but at over 1 mb
each, you're killing the guys with dial-up modems.
Lar. Do not Archive.

Lar, do you know of a way to shrink them down without cropping? I took my shots in 3M Normal mode so they take 600 - 700K each. Even that is a big wad for a dial up modem, so not sure what to do about that, but to tell dial-up folks to avoid looking at pictures. Dave's shots are higher res so if you know a way to shrink them so everyone can see them well, let us know. That is one of the reasons I normally use my photosite website, but then I post lots more pics there, so in the end this is better for the Kolb list, since I selected only the best few that I thought others would be interested in seeing.

I shrink (re-size) them to 1000 x 750 pixels, then apply a compression
factor to give anywhere from ~50 - 150 kilobytes each. Works good and
still gives good results, as witness all the pics on my website, and the
ones I've published here. If you have PhotoShop or PhotoShop Elements, I
can walk you thru it very quickly. If you don't have an editing
program, email 'em to me for now, and I'll doctor 'em and send 'em back
ready to publish. Not a problem for me with high speed cable, and it'll
make it much easier on the dial-up folks. A free download that I use at
work, but don't much like is "Gimp." It works, but I find it awkward to
use. 'Course, I'm not used to it, either, so.........??

Another free graphics editor that isn't too hard to learn is PhotoPlus:

Cool, thanks Eugenne! The MV pic's look really good for the small file size. What tool did you use to shrink them? Sounds like there are several ways to go.

Jim,
I'm one of the odd ball guys that uses an Apple computer which are
famous for graphics.
The program I use is called "Graphic Converter".
One little trick for scaling down internet picts is to use only 72
DOTS PER INCH because that is all the resolution most computer
screens can display anyway. The only advantage for higher resolution
is mainly for printing photos.
