Picture size

I was going to post a few before pics of my bike for "Winter Tasks" in advance of taking it apart, but will not upload, says file too large. How do I make em smaller, is it a camera thing or a computer thing?

It is both. Your camera will shoot the picture at a certain size and when it is downloaded, it will store it at that size. Not sure what OP System you are using, but I am assuming that it is a Windows machine. If so, depending on which specific OP System you have, you have to compress the file.

Do you have Office Picture Manager?

I am using windows XP, I think it is XP Pro? Never saw Office Picture listed in my programs but I'll see if I can figure how to compress em. Maybe if I smash them with a hammer first they will fit.

Did not need a hammer. Camera has a setting for Email pics. Who knew? Tried compressing the original ones I took, but still too big. Guess it was both, and you were right. I had a brain fart. Thanks!

I am running Windows 7 and I have that program. I like it a lot. I had it when I was running Vista too. How big is it compressing it to?

on average, from 3.55MB down to 3.4MB, seems like a waste of time.

You should be able to compress your pics down to like 43kb. I know I can. I am surprised at how many people do not know what OP system that they are using.

XP should have Office Picture Manager. Go to your start tab, click it. In your search box, type Office Picture Manager. If you have it, it should come up.

Typed in search box, no results. Checked in all programs and expanded all programs by highlighting them individually, not there. Using windows XP Pro, version 2002, service pack 3, if that helps. Possibly removed in past. this computer has had more users than a whore at a truckstop.
