Hello, To really reduce the size of photos save
them into the GIF format. This can be done simply with the Microsoft
Paint program found in the Accessories. Colors may change slightly, but
usually not significantly. Most of the time these minor color
changes do not affect NAFEX usage, which is simply a reference image. A JPG file has millions of colors, where
a GIF has thousands of colors. The more colors, the larger the file
becomes. Later, Tom From:

> Point taken. I have never created a hyperlink or a website. Could
someone advise off list? I think
this is topical enough to address on-list. I have
zero problems with people sending pictures if they do the following "edits". -Resize
to 600 pixels along the largest dimension. Most photo editors have a
resize option that will keep things proportional. Even better, crop out
excessive background...then resize. 600 X 400 pixels or 400 X 600 are
very viewable. -Save
picture as a JPG (J-Peg) and use a quality setting of approximately
70%-to-80%. You will lose a little bit of the most subtle shading. Then
attach and ship. Most
pictures will have a file size of 25k. -Joe
