Chances are your camera came with some software. Re-size or re-sample the image to 640x480 or 320x200. It should fit then

Sizing pictures

Hi John:

Often it is the resolution you take the pictures at that determines how big the file is. In most cases, if you access your picture through your paint program and re save it, it will cut the file size drastically without bothering the picture quality. If you use the standard paint program from Microsoft, Click on Image and then Stretch and it will let you change the actual size of the picture. have a look at how many bytes the pic has before you start, and then re-size accordingly.

Hope this helps.

John,

Before you take any pictures change the reseloution of your camera.

You only need 5 mpix if you wanna blow the picture up for a billboard or something.

Try setting on 1260 x ?. or 800 x 600 if you can.. that would be just about right.

Thanks for the input guys. There is always a learning curve. I figured it out and have been able to post pictures. No damage. Easier than learning to fly / didn't need a buddy box.
