I used to follow Wil Wheaton, back in my Fark days. I got a kick out of seeing him on Big Bang.

See, this is what I'm talking about...To hell with 'resizing' a pic. My cat does that regularly. What I need is to reduce the size of the FILE. If I take a picture of, or with, grass, or anything green, or with bajillions of edges, getting the pic file under 175kb for the Cellar, and still have it big enough to look at, is damn near impossible. I use PhotoStudio 5.0, for compression I'm trying Web Resizer, not thrilled with it, but still learning the program. Any compressor suggestions?

The three pictures that xhaos posted in his baby thread were something like 29 inches wide... way too big to see.
OK, I downloaded them, opened in Photoshop Elements (free program that came with a sketchpad I bought), resized them to 12" x 9" (864 x 648 pixels), at a resolution of 72 pixels/inch, and reposted them.
They are about 80/90 kb each.

By the way, I have Photoshop 4.5 but don't use it because Elements is much smaller and does what I want
