Hi, im a bit of a newbie at uploading and resizing my screenshots and I was just wondering a few things.

First, the photo has to be 100k, and some of mine are over 5mb. How do I reduce this?

Second, is making the screenshot 800 pixels wide as simple as cropping in photo shop or paint?

Thanks,
Nigel

on the upload page HERE, there is a link to irfanview, which is a very handy tool, like paint but much better which lets you resize images and save them.

To resize, open your image and press Ctrl+r, type in width as 800 px and press OK.

To save under 100Kbs hit the save as button, and adjust the quality slider to somewhere between 1 and 12. You might have to play around with this a bit to get it under 100Kbs. If it is not, just save it again at a lower quality setting

Any questions, just ask

PS. If you have photoshop, after resizing hit the "save for web" button in the file menu, then you can play around with quality from 1-100 and it gives you a preview of the file size so there is less playing around
