Here, try this....

• Load your picture into Windows Paint
• Select IMAGE from the tool bar
• Select Resize/Skew
• Adjust the values in the Resize - Horizontal and Vertical input boxes...try 40% in both boxes or 50% in both boxes to start
• Save reduced image under a different name

Or if you have a Mac then import to iPhoto and then export file and select jpeg and medium file size and quality.

Do not try using Windows Paint... it's terrible. Try Picasa (from Google) or Windows Live Photo Gallery instead.

Peter, Why so negative on Paint? I've been using it for years and have never had an issue.

Ok, perhaps it's just outdated... but I've been off Windows for a while now!
