What's the best way to reduce the size of a large picture? My options are
to reduce by pixels or by percent of the original. The originals are
typically 2-3M bytes (6.2 M byte camera) and I want to reduce to around
400-500 kbs to facilitate emailing of pictures without it being a huge
file.

Is there a preferred method (pixels vs percent of original) that maintains
the best picture quality?

If you use windows, go here

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...powertoys.mspx

Download image resizer and install it. You can then right click on any
picture, click on resize and you will be given all kinds of cool options.
This is one of the best windows apps on the net. The quality is fantastic.

Thanks to all that responded. Shortly after I posted this question we lost
power and I didn't have a chance to try anything. Power just came back on.
