I'd suggest that it's still a colossal "size" - many boards restrict jpgs to 128k, which is amply large enough for quality.............

113k -

technical staff ?
That must be me then.

I think that pipe under the Solent is to small for it..

Do you have Photoshop or a programe that will resize pics for you?

Sorry about that

. . . how do i resize a file ? <<<< EDIT I NOW KNOW

Imagemagick is a cross platform piece of software that is both free and extremely versatile. Available for Windows, Linux and I think OS X.
Linux

convert -resize 30% inputfile.png outputfile.jpg

This used the imagemagic Linux built in command convert to resize the input file to 30% of the original and perform format change to jpeg on the output. It doesn't need to change formats, but is that easy.

See here for Windows info. If you have multiple images to do then it's a real breeze. As I said, it's just there in Linux distros. Google imagemagick.
