Camera shots

[The Rancor]

Does anyone know how to take photos that are less than 100kb. I've already taken some to put on the website but they take up amounts like 1,789kb. I really want to post reviews and pictures (sometimes to help) in the forums and this is really annyoing that I can't post pictures becuase they are too detailed.

Can anyone provide advice please?

Try resizing them to around 800x600, which is around 60k. If you're desperate, Paint will do, but other programs, such as IrfanView and image editing programs will work better

Thks I'll try that

I don't have any Lego pics handy but this will be a test:-

For many files I use software like the "Image Resizer" from the "microsoft power toys".

just right-click your images and resize them without opening them in an other application.

You may also want to look at the settings of your camera, and see if you can set the pictures you take to a smaller frame size. Mine was automatically set at the highest possible when I first started taking pictures, so I had huge files, but eventually I brightened up and took a look at the settings.

Now I also use Irfanview, an absolutely great batch conversion program.
