Hello Darrell,

Thanks for the tip... I guess one of my questions is this: Is it better to
take a 8MP picture that you then optimise for the web, or start out with a
lower resolution like 2MP and then reduce it down to a smaller size for web
viewing?

I have lots of high-res images and when they are optimised, they don't turn
out as good as lower resolution shots that are optimised. Any ideas? I may
have to reshoot everything, or become a web photo guru... :-0 Thanks and all
the best to you and yours!

I find Irfanview to be excellent in reducing pictures for the web. Say a
5Mpixel down to 800x600 or even thumbnail size. It is available as freeware
and an excellent program. It will work on one photo or batches at a time. I
find it is better on the web to hold thumbnails as separate pix than the
full size and not bother with the "width" and "height" stipulations in the
img coding (HTML). http://www.irfanview.com/
