Bernd- If you use windows os you can use Paint. I would make a copy first and resize copy, else you will lose old size and detail. Right click on pic file and select edit - paint should open. Resize option is listed above. If using Picasa you can export a copy to desktop and select parameters for size. You'll have to play a bit to find right settings that get file size to 250k or under - else Photobucket works. Paul

Hope you don't mind if I also do a test with my iPad. Weeeeee, the picture shows in preview! Ah, interesting, it wasn't there when I previewed after adding the last comment and I had to choose file again. Good to know but will I remember the next time I add a photo to a post? Maybe I should post photos everyday to train myself. Edited to correct a typo. This post was edited by hhireno on Sat, Apr 13, 13 at 8:15

If you click on the resized picture, it will open in its original size in another window. We're still making tweaks and adjustments and that instruction will also appear in the uploading instructions so that members will know to do this. When I saved the photo of the dandelion to my computer, I mistakenly saved a thumbnail of my picture, which was actually smaller than the image you see on this page. That is why it looks a bit blurry, because it was blown up to fit the default dimensions for our photo display.
