I have some amazing wildlife & people photos from my dream holiday win to Kenya when I met the celebrities after their trek across the desert but I can never seem to enter photo comps on here as it always says the file size is too big. Does anybody have any advice how I can alter my pics so that they can be submitted as I'm a bit of a technophobe

There is probably a more normal way of doing it, but if you open your picture in paint (for me via the windows photo gallery -> open -> paint) and then go to image, and resize/skew, you can put in different percentages for a resize (e.g. 50 and 50 or 25 and 25...you'll find the best for your size of photographs).

Click ok, then save and you'll find your picture will have changed from MB to KB. As I said, it'll take you a bit of messing to find the optimum values, but it's very quick once you learn how to do it. Hope this makes sense and I know there will most certainly be a more respected way of doing it. All I.T. people, don't jump on me! :rotfl:

Her voice is "interesting" but this is a tutorial online
