how do you compress a photo, for example to be able to add it to your profile

I open my photos up in paint, crop and rotate if needed, then "save as" jpeg. They have always saved to a small enough format to be able to post later. Welcome to our Cute family and *4U

mikany, I don't think I've seen you here before, so a big *welcome* to our *Cute* family, hope you love being here as much as we do. When you make your photo smaller, it needs to be a jpeg or gif (no animated gifs), and a maximum of 154Kb, otherwise it won't show. Hugs and a flower sweetie.

My picasa that I use to modify my photos will let me resize and I do it there. Photo shop or any of the standard programs would work. ;)
