I dunno how ya do it. I set my camera on econ, trim the pics as much as possible, but to get them to 800 X 800, with <146K, I get something about the size of a postage stamp.

Try this... this is what I do.

Take a regular high quality photo image in Jpeg format.

Open it in Microsoft Office Picture Manager.

Click on the "edit pictures" button

A menu will appear on the right side of the window.

Click on Resize and then click on "percentage of original width and height"

Try 75%, then say OK and then save the image.

Check the location where image is stored and check the properties of the image by a right click of the mouse...

rinse and repeat until the file size is acceptable...

Good luck and let me know how it works out.

Thanks, John. LOL... But I'm on an Apple, using Photofix, a poor man's Photoshop. maybe if I use Graphic converter???? I'll keep trying...
