Thanks Joy and Jeff.
I have managed to reduce a few photos using FP 2000.
I cannot figure out how to get a photo into the photo program I downloaded
(Ulead) to work them over.
I think I understand the process. I want to save all headstones as 225
pixels wide and cemetery photos as 250 pixels wide. Reducing the photo size
is my problem. I used FP to reduce a couple but when I click for full view
they take up the entire monitor again. Very aggregating. I don't
particularly want to buy a photo program, but may be forced to.

Hi Charles:
I resize in pixels. Most folks use displays of 800 pixels by 600 pixels or
more.
Browsers have bordersand perhaps a sidebar, so I try to make graphics
about 600 pixels wide or less so the user only has to scroll down the
page instead of left-to-right and up-and-down.
Just my opinion.
