Hi Timm,
I'm not familiar with the program that you are using, but I can tell you
that I usually do downsize the photos that I put online. I took my
recommendations from Ebay, who states that the longest side of a photo
(whether in landscape or portrait view) should be no larger than 300
pixels. If the photo has alot of detail, for example, a classroom photo
from school, etc., I will fudge on that and make it as large as 600 pixels
on the longest edge. But no matter if it is bigger than the 300 pixels or
not, I will run the photo, after downsizing it, through the jpg optimizer of
Paint Shop Pro X and compress the photo about 20 or 25 percent. This cuts
down on the file size dramatically without making the photo too fuzzy. It
just makes for easier uploading for you, and quicker viewing for your
visitors. Be sure to upload your photos as binary!
Hope this helps a little bit,
N.

Thanks Nance,
Now for my problem, it is with the size of the files, last night I was
going
to start uploading pictures. I decided to start with one and I could not
get
the picture to upload, I assume it was too big... I was using a JPeG
format.
I believe someone should talk me step through step on putting in a
picture
into the photoalbum... I know it is not tough, but I have a feeling I
might
need to run the picture through another program to get it small enough.
(I
have Microsoft's Digital Suite 10 & Picture Project) - between them I
should be
able to do most anything with the picture. And if there are any other
things folks can warn me about the photo area let me know.
Thanks
Timmers
