Harry,
There are two ways to reduce the file size.
1. You can use your graphics program to reduce the dimensions of the pic; for instance from 1280x1024 pixels to 640x480 pixels. This example would reduce the file to roughly one-fourth it's original size.
2. Assuming it's a JPG file, you should be able to set the level of JPG compression when you save the file with your graphics program. The smaller the percentage, the smaller the file size. The trade-off is that image quality falls as well.

how to reduce a photo by 50k bytes
Hi Harry,
An easy solution to your question is Ifranview. It is available at
www.webtree.ca/newlife. If you installl
it make sure you uncheck all the file
associations. Otherwise it will take over
your pc. I use it all the time. It is free and
will resample gif. tif ..etc to jpgs.
Good luck,
Nevio

Thanks Nevio!......
I finally wound up solving the problem by having ioconnell reduce the photo in question. I am still trying to learn my way through graphics converter which is a similar program to the one you recomended. Many thanks for your assistance and congrats on making your first post! See? its easy!:D
