I was sure the info was up here somewhere but I cannot find it.

We have kodak photoshop with jpgs aprox 740 kbs

how do we get them from there to here?

BTW this probably exceeds my "need to know" about technology by aprox. a mile or two.

The simple, easy way, if you have MS Paint that is:

Open Programs
Open Accssories
Open Paint
Hit File
Hit Open
Find the pic you want to minimize, open it there
Click on Image
Click on stretch and skew
Then change 100% and 100% to 80/80
As the picture gets smaller....you are resizing....

they need to be smaller than 400kb

I have been able to do all that you recommend but you still have not told me how to add it to the thread?

what do I type into the place where I attach a file after posting

Zoom - | Zoom 100% | Zoom + | Expand / Contract | Open New window

Click to expand / contract the width of this image

a the bottom of your post, check the "Attach a file after posting" box.

Then attach your file just like you would with an e-mail attachment.

FSF,

You need to click Browse then go to the folders then the file of the picture. If you're not sure where that is on your hard drive, if it's WinXP, you can click Start/Search/For Files and Folders then Pictures. Check pictures to filter for those and when you find the image you can hover over it with the mouse. That will show you the path of the folders/file.

Click your Browse button here when trying to post and drill down to that file. Hope that works for ya...

FSF,

You're almost there. You need to click Browse then go to the folders then the file of the picture.

My error was not saving the file from editting it in paint.

Once I did that I could put it in the right place.

Still needed to open it before sending it.

Wallah, my son's first musky from two years ago, on one of those too rare days of many active fish.

Thanks Slamr, you should have that all posted up with the reminder to save the file once it is editted in paint and to give it a unique name, select it as a jpeg or jpg and open it to finally get it to post, and thanks Mike.
