pic size

[gerbie]

Since I've got so many clever friends here, I might as well pop another question. How do I make pictures smaller. I've got some nice pictures uploaded to my photobucket, but if I use it in my LJ here, it remains a huge pictures, certain to screw up friends pages everywhere.

Who can help?

Nice photos! Your pictures of Iguazu are much better than mine ... it was pouring rain when I was there. :)

I'm not sure how to do the html thing ... I've never used it because it can't reduce the size if the image files themselves, and so the page would take forever to load for anybody with a dial-up connection .

So I use Photoshop or another image editor to reduce both the image size and the associated file size, and link to the reduced-size photos. I try to limit the size of each file to 50 kb or so, and no more than 600 pixels wide. If you don't have software to do that, I'd be happy to make reduced-size copies of the pics for you ... just let me know.

Okay, thanx. I have downloaded Photoshop already, just never used it yet and find it too time-consuming for the few times I want to use it.

I am used to scan-software, so I have used that for other pictures as well. Will do that soon.

Thanx for the offer anyway.
