All of your photo editing programs will allow you to resize your images. It can vary between programs as to how it's done. I use Picasa (free from Google) as a basic editor/organizer. You simply select photos which to want to post on groups & export them to a folder (my folder is on my computer's desktop). When you do the export in Picasa, it will also ask you what size the files should be as well as the destination folder. I use 800 pixels as the size (works well for all group postings). Then when you want to upload them here, just go to your destination folder to select whatever images you want...Picasa adjusts the size automatically, so you don't have to specify anything other than the 800 pixels setting...Hope this helps....Otherwise, consult your photo programs help section for specific directions on resizing
