Hi Tonya
Looks that we have the same problem, but reverse...I would like to upload bigger photos, but when I try, I have the same problem as you have now.
If you want to reduce the "weight" of your photo and if you have a photo editor program (like HP Image Zone for exemple) there is a way to resize your photo. With HP Image Zone, you pick up a photo, you go to "edition", and there you click on resize. Then, you click on email or electronic mail ( mine is in French and is offering "message électronique", so I suppose that in English it should be close to what I wrote above...Any other photo edition program should offer an application similar to this...I hope so...But....
Hope I did help you a little with this information.
Good luck
Yves

Hi,

I know that it is a problem since you are limitied to photos no larger than 100kb.  You can resize your photos with many programs.  I happen to be an old Photoshop user and can do it very easily in that program.  I do believe that you can find less expensive graphics programs that allow you to edit your photos and resize them to less than 100kb.  One of the keys to getting down to that size is to reduce the resolution of your photo to 72 and the size to 5 x 7 and then save in a jpeg format.

I do believe Photoshop Elements is not too expensive and would fill the bill and I hope that you don't find the learning curve too steep for the use of that program.  None of the programs for graphics are really simple.

Good Luck and I do hope that I haven't confused you.

Thank you very much for all of your help. I am going to try several things! My brother has photo shop I believe so I am going to see about using his. Someone else told me to save my photos on a disc and take them to a photo lab and have them downsize them and then download them back in to my computer?
Well if you see more of my paintings you'll know something worked! Thanks Again!!!
