Check out the screenshot area further down in the forum. Look at Studio-V This thread will most likely be moved. Also we dont say things like "any1" we keep that to a minimum and type like real people Grin

Welcome to SimV and StudioV DrBrown.

There's an image editor called Irfanview. It's free, and is exactly what you need to re-size your screenshots. Get it here..http://www.irfanview.com/ When you've downloaded and installed it, open a screenshot with it,and then click on it's heading "Image",

then click "re-size/re-sample" in the drop down sub menu.

Put in the size you like eg. 800 x 600, then click on "File" then "save as" in the"Files" drop down menu.

Here's where you can change the "weight" or k's of your pic. There's a slider at the top right hand side of your screen. Move that left or right, save the pic, right click the saved pic, go to properties in the dropped down menu and you'll see the weight. Still too heavy? Go back to "save as" in the pic and move the Irfanview slider more to the left. Save again..There you have it.
Oh, about BAW0343, don't worry about him...those artsy types can be pretty hot-headed.. Wink

he's actually a great guy, and a good friend.
