Pictured out

Ok so no pics this time!
I have been taking the pics from my New Camera which is taking like 8 megapixels or something, maybe 10, and shrinking them down so they don't take 400 years to upload. To shrink them down I have to put them in I photo Plus and crop and squish and resave as JPG. I have been meaning to upload Picasa but haven't yet. Anyone tell me a faster way to do this?
So you can see that we had a great time but have been pretty busy since we have been back. Hang on for more!

If you don't need to crop, just want the pictures to be smaller, right click on the picture, go to "send to" "mail recipent" and the email will come up. Then look at the bottom where the attachment is and click on that and select "save as" and you can just save the small size. I do that all the time. Saves from having to go into photo shop or whatever program you have.

Ahah! I am going to have to do that. That only works for emailing them tho, right? You can't save them small from there so I can post on my blog?

You have a choice of making the immage smaller or keep original size. I do the smaller. After I have the email come up, at the bottom is the attachment. Right click on the attachment and it comes up with a "open, save as, add, remove" Choose the "Save As". I just save it in "My Documents" and then move it somewhere else later if I still want to keep it.

Ok so I tried this today and could only do one pic at a time. The rest of the pics i put on were HUGE. Like if there was a fly in the picture I could have told you what he was looking at big. The first picture was small.
