Mike,

I reduced my image to 25% and it was too big for the forum to accept it. Then 10% which made it about an inch wide and 1 1/2 inches tall (too tiny really to do much good for viewing) and it was still too big. I don't get it. I thought when jpg files were reduced, some of the pixels (or whatever they are called ) are thrown out and the file is actually made smaller. How else does one make a file smaller than by reducing it? I also cropped as much of it as I could.

Thanks,
Joan
