You need to get a program that will allow you to shrink pics.

Resizing your photos is fairly simple.

Open your photo editor. I use "PhotoSuite" because it came with some other software I wanted. Any way, open what ever picture you want to work on in the active screen. Then along to top (usually) in the menu bar, look for a pull down menu that may say something like "resize" click on that and a dialog box, with among other things, will have a horizontal and vertical box with some numbers in it. Change the vertical to somewhere in the neighborhood of 500 or so, then save. The horizontal should change automatically to keep the picture proportional.

Finding the right size from there is just trial and error.

The above is basically how mine works, they all have similar methods.

Good luck

Joe
