Sorry John, On most images if you click on the image some little boxes appear on corners (and inbetween) drag mouse over one of the boxes (handles) wait until arrows change then drag in towards image centre ) this should reduce size. Derek

John, I'm assuming Photo Editor is like most editing progs. Go to File then Save As choose different File Name and change the file extension to .jpeg This should reduce mb size then use THAT file to send. Derek

Hi John 2 very quick ways of doing this: 1) have you got Microsofft Photo Editor? if so go to 'image' then select 'resize' and follow instructions from there. or 2) go to www.resize2mail*com (replace star with dot) and follow the simple instructions there.
