Hi Paul, Bob,

Paul,
in case you run Windows you also shoud have Microsoft Photo Editor (normally
hides behind START/Microsoft Office Tools/Microsoft Photo Editor).
If you click on the image and it does not open with the Photo Editor: right
click the image and use the drop down where it says something like "open
with" and select the Microsoft Photo Editor.
Once you have the photo in the editor you can use the following path:
a) Save the image with "Archive", "Save as" and give it name. This way you
can experiment without actually loosing the original.
b) Increase the image to "100%"
c) Click on "Image" and select "reduce size". Start with 70% or so and see
what results in a size that fits the screen at "100%".
d) To check the size (KB) at this stage I don't know any other way than to
close the Editor and save the reduced image and then check the saved image
with "properties", you should see the file size somewhere.
If the size is down to your needed limits, fine! If not keep going with plan
"B" :)

Plan B:

e) Open the reduced size image again with Microsoft Photo Editor.
f) "Archive"/"Save as"
g) When the "Save as"-window opens, again give it a new name, verify that
the Filetyp is what you want (normally I use jpeg), then
h) there should be a "button" that reads "more" or something to that end, at
the left lower corner of the window (I am translating from my Spanish
Windows version here!!:), click that button and the "save as"-window will
open further.
i) On the bottom of the window you will now find a "JPEG quality
factor"-slider. Reduce it to about 20%
j) "Save" the image.
k) Open the saved image to check the quality is still good enough for the
list!! :) Check with "properties" that the file size is down where you need
it!

I still owe Paul on the other list an answer from some duct-discussion in
July. I had to scan a magazine which gave me a 1.2 MB image, and I have
about 10 of them to send! Using the "Cut"-tool in "Image" in the Editor
actually increased the size to around 6MB!!
Using the steps above I got the important part down to 63 KB.........
It is not something you would want to frame and hang on the wall, but it
gets the message across very well!!
If the quality is too low, save the reduced size image again, but put the
slider to 30%...and check again!

It sounds more complicated than it is. Once you are through the steps you do
any photo in 2 min, if you have more of the same size and quality you are
done in 30 sec per photo!

Good luck!

Thomas Jakits
