         Whoops. You overshot. You got it down to 8kb but it's too small to see. Re-size to 1024 x 768 pixels and set your JPEG compression to 15 and you should get a file size just under 100k, which should be fine for a single picture. If you want to send a bunch of pictures, follow the instructions on  http://www.matronics.com/photoshare/kitfox-list.html#Top and post a notice of the addition on the list.

You didn't ask me, but they are the perfect size for my e-mail client.

I'll second the motion, Pat...they don't take long to download on my  

dial-up system, and only show as 455KB in my email. That's perfect as  

far as I'm concerned.



Here's what I do about "big mail"...when I'm downloading my mail, and  

it seems to be taking a long time, I'll go straight to my provider  

and see what's in my mailbox there. I look at the size column, and if  

I see anything there with an "M" in it, it gets trashed, unless I  

know what it is, and want to see it. I don't have the patience to sit  

and wait for somebody's multi-addressed, sent and sent again little  

joke to download and they often contain the same picture or pictures,  

several times, because the sender can't be bothered to learn how to  

edit the fluff out of the message. I may be tossing out some nice  

pictures of artistic ladies, but those are the breaks.

Lynn,

The guys who don't know how to resized pics can learn with very little effort.

Here is the how to for those who don't get it:

For Windos users go to Microsoft Power toys at

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx

Then click on the download for image resizer

Once that is done just highlight the pic and click properties. Then 

click resize pictures. That will give 3 choices, any of which reduce 

the pic size by about a factor of 10. This results in a pic about the 

best one can display on a computer screen. (small is a good choice).

Example a 550k pic will go to around 55k. Or some 1m pics will go to 70 or 80k.

Works great for pictures.  Works poorly to reduce scanned text & mag articles.

Paul

Paul-

I've got an eMac, and in its' mail program, I can drag pictures into  

an email, then look at the size of the total email, and judging upon  

what it says, I can adjust from "actual" size (picture size) to  

"large", "medium", or "small." I just recently discovered this, and  

it greatly speeds up the process for me. It's not perfect, but it's a  

fast/easy way to send pics. The other choice I have is to use the  

program that stores my pictures, called Kodak EasyShare, but it sends  

out all pics at either "original"....764KB, or "best for email" which  

is 56KB. Or drag the picture(s) into Photoshop and reduce them that  

way. Not too many folks out there using Macs of course, but maybe  

this will give someone an idea of what choices there are.

I'm up to 10.2.6......I haven't checked to see how old that is.  

There's probably newer...what IS the newest? As long as mine works, I  

pretty much leave it alone. I'm more of a gearhead than  Machead.

The latest is 10.5.5 ("Leopard"), Lynn.  Still using "Jaguar" you've 

skipped completely over "Panther" (10.3) and "Tiger" (10.4).

While all Macs produced in the last several years can run Windows, 

they do not come with it--you still have to pay Micro$oft for the 

privilege of a license if you want to use it.



Now, how to tie this in with picture sizes and Kitfoxes.  Well, I 

have a lot of nicely-sized photos of my Kitfox on my Mac...
