You should already be familiar with the 100kb & 800 x 600 size limits for screenshots... Wink

Simply use Photoshop to resize and compress the screenshots to within the limits

If you're using Photoshop "save for web", here's the trick:

Look at the shaded area top right corner here..

the slider that is highlighted by clicking the quality arrow has to be moved to the left. As you do this, the "weight" of your pic decreases. You can actually see what the file size will be as you move the slider, look at the shaded area in pic 2bottom left corner.

This is where you'll see the actual file size changing. When you have the perfect size, click save..that's it. Wink
