[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by rrinker Size in bytes and size in pixels are not necessarily directly related. It all depends on how much compression you put on. I would NOT let Photobucket do the auto resizing. For example, photos from my old digital camera are natively 1024x768, and almost always bigger than the 250k limit of Photobucket. However, simply opening them and saving them with Paint Shop Pro, using the default settings, results in a file that is under 200k yet still 1024x768. Slight loss of quality but since I'm not trying to make prints out of these things, I can live with it. [/quote] Another way to keep images the same dimensions but reduce their file size in Paint Shop Pro (I use 8.1) is to use the "JPEG Optimizer" feature. You can dial in any amount of reduction and see the results in the sample window. I've been doing this for years for photos on my web site. I try to keep them all around 50K. They don't print good, but look OK on monitors. Bob Boudreau
