Download "pixresizer" its a free program that will let you resize a whole folders worth of pictures at once :) just google it
-
Mike, I do the same as Dana but with Photobucket. It too is free.
Also you can re-set your camera to take the lowest resolution pics. This will usually make them 640x480 and less than 200mp. I keep my camera set on the lowest setting for just this reason. My wife's camera is set on the highest setting for normal pic taking. ::)

If you have facebook you can load your pictures on there then right click and save image to your computer....it automatically resizes them, that's what I do

I have photo bucket but how do I get them from there to this site? I am sorry I know very little about computers ???

Also, if you have MS Office on your computer, it has Picture Manager, which will let you resize. If not, Paint (in the accesories on every computer) can resize pics. Just open the photo with Paint, go to Image, then Stretch/Skew and enter the same number in both the "stretch" and "skew" boxes. 50 will make it 50% as big as the original, etc. To load pics on here from Photobucket, go to photobucket and copy the URL of the pic you want (second line under the pic.) When you're writing your message here, click in the message where you want the pic, then click on the "Insert Image" icon (looks like a little framed picture, second from the left on the row just above the smilies.) This will open a little box that you paste the URL in, click OK, and it's here.

how do I copy and paste,,,sorry for so many questions
-
To copy the URL, click on it to highlight it, it should turn blue. Then right-click, and Click "copy." When you go to paste it, just right-click and click "paste."
-
When you place your cursor over the image on photobucket it will show the link options below the picture. Make sure you use the IMG Code link option and do like Hillbilly said. The other options wont make the picture show up here, and most people don't want to go looking for the pictures.

I've got a Mac and what I do is down load into I Photo from my camera I then email them to my self out of IPhoto. I Photo asks me small, med, or large, and I go for medium. When they are received I drag the photos out of email and put them on the desktop. It's almost too easy with a Mac.

You have to email them to yourself...... what a hassel.

At some point you will wish you had the pictures in a bigger format. If you use the camera on the lowest setting you cant even print decent small pictures. It is well worth learning how to resize a copy, and keeping the large photo.

I'll take a picture in medium format and take a picture after I change it to small format. Then I keep or delete what I want.

I just posted how I do it in the "How To" section. I do the same as Hillbilly- I put screenshots up to make it easy to understand.

To email out of I photo takes two mouse clicks and one key stroke. Macs Rule!!!

Then you have to retrieve them from your email. All of a sudden there are just as many steps to do it that way.
I wouldn't say Macs Rule by any means. They do make some things easier, but they are such idiots when it comes to using other commercial software.
