    Help!

    My attached photo allotment is about full so I though I would post to the photo gallery. My photos are about 5,000 KB. How do I make the file size smaller?

    Thanks,
    Mark

    If you have them in i-photo or some other album you should be able to export them to your desktop and downsize them at that point.

    What program do you use to downsize? I tried Paint & it did, but cropped from the top left corner rather than keeping the whole image.

    I have some large (1.9MB) attachments that are using space that prevents me from uploading new images.

    1. How can I delete them?
    2. If I delete them, I assume that they will no longer be available in the thread they were posted in. True? Is there a better way to deal with this?

    I have figured out how to make my photos smaller by using Picassa’s “export” feature as suggested. Still need to get some room for them.
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Post the photos into the gallery, then you will be able to copy and paste them directly into the post.
