I don't know what photo editing software you have, but when you resize you are better off to start by compressing first. The resolution doesn't take such a hit. You can then resize to 99.8kb. Good luck.
Best, Capt. Chris

Thx, Capt.

I run Vista and use Irfanview to view and resize photos - but this is not working well at all here. By the time I get down to 100KB the resolution is shot all to ... you know.


If some running Vista can recommend some software for this purpose, I would really appreciate it.

Thx, Bill

I use Irfanview also, but with XP
I go into image, resize and resample and pick one of the two smaller sizes, but try to keep the quality up and then save with good quality
Try that

Bill I am not to good at this but I use Vista as that was what came on the computer. I use Microsoft Office Picture Manager. I compress first then re size to small web page size. My pictures are still not big enough but I just recently learned how to get one on there at all so am still trying different things.

Thanks Guys, I finally got it figured out and Irfanview is up and running like a charm... The problem was there were some extra blocks checked in the save menu making my pics go tango uniform when I resized them. I have no idea what those features are for, but unchecking them fixed the problem and my life is good again (don't ask how many hours I spent trying to figure it out though!!)
