Can't believe I'm saying this......he's right
It's the actual size. Like if ya printed it, it wouldn't fit on a 8.5 X 11 page. even if the size is a small file size, the picture is dimensionally to big.
Check what you use to edit your pics with & see if you are just reducing the pixels & not the dimensions.
I usually crop my pics before I compress them as this helps.
If you look at the pics I sent to Pappy on his Ladies thread the pics don't show.
That was intentional so as not to high jack the thread. Hope this helps.
