If the max resolution is 1110 x 1100, that works out to roughly 1.16 MBs.
Most digital cameras take bigger pictures, for example, on a typical 10 or 12 Mega pix camera, the original photo can be as large as 10 MB's.
That is the "RAW" picture format.
When you convert it to a .jpg (JPEG) format, the file size is reduced significantly.
You can convert the file to .jpg (JPEG) directly on the camera or using your computer.
You can reduce the file size further by cropping the photo to cut out unwanted areas.
Using PhotoShop is ideal - it will allow you the most options to resize and adjust your photo.
PhotoShop Elements is $99 - it's all you need.
But, there are other tools that are simpler, even on a modern digital camera.
The background is not important, but the more complex and detailed it is, the bigger the photo file will be, so simplest backgrounds take the least amount of files space.
