Yeah Todd, resize those darn things /forum/images/graemlins/bravo.gif

That settles it, my talk at the TCIA Expo will now be on computer tricks like how to resize your images. /forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
Nice shot though. The cables look like fun.

Still about three times the data size to be even approaching comfortable on a dialup connection (the percentage of broadband connections in the US just recently just barely broke the 50% barrier, so there's still a lot of us "out there"). Around 100KB is quite alright, thank you. And almost twice the screen size of a typical monitor resolution setting of 1024x768, so panning is still necessary. Unless you're using a browser that automatically crops the image to fully fit in a window, but then why send (and make Mark store, then serve!) more than necessary?
You've been shown one very reasonable size already, here's a slightly less reasonable one, but it's a tad larger data-wise than the dimensions would warrant because it's been sharpened up a bit, as well as the gamma adjusted slightly to increase detail in the shadows.

here is a fast way to shrink pictures if you have xp but no photo image software.
Right click the image(s) you want to shrink, click "send to" and "mail recipient"
xp will ask you if you want to shrink them to make them more internet friendly. Click ok and email the pics to yourself. drag them into a new folder and they are ready to send to "the Buzz"

That's better Todd, but a little smaller would be perfect. If you don't have to scroll horizontal to view it, that's pretty good. /forum/images/graemlins/vroam.gif
Either you're using a very large screen with a very high resolution or you're using computer software which tries to be smart for you instead of letting you do it yourself, so you don't look so smart when you use it to interact. That's not a dig against you, but against the stuff you're using. I'd bet it's from Redmond, Washington.

Todd;
I could view the ones tha glens re-sized, but all of the onbes that you have posted (including the re-sized one) are still too big for me to view. It's not that I have to scroll to see the entire image--my computer just gives up and doesn't load any of the photo.
If your computer and the software are high-tech enough for you to see the entire photo then the program can probably easily resize the photos for Neanderthals like me and my software.
The resolution can be pretty small and still look good on the computer. If you are taking pics just for email, posting, or PPT then, if you have a digital camera, just change the resolution setting on the camera before you take the photo. Just be aware that if you do take the picture with low rsolution you will not be able to use them for publication and they will not look as good when printed as photographs.

My browser is running on a 466 MHz Celeron box, but it's displaying on a 233 MHz P-II, which is also were I did the image manipulation.

That's all true and good information. Perhaps the best thing, though would be to use image viewing/manipulation software that doesn't try to hide from the user what it is it's doing. I don't know what to recommend for Windows users except for what it is I use. The only drawback for Windows users is that there isn't a graphical interface to the manipulation. There is one in the source code and pre-compiled packages for unix-like stuff, but I use the command line anyway as it's just plain faster.
I think for that last one I used something like
<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>convert -resize 50% -gamma 1.4 -sharpen 0x1 12204-Dscn0711.jpg 12204-Dscn0711.mod.jpg</pre><hr />
It's just that simple. And quite quick, even on this old hardware. Spend a few minutes with me Todd, and I'll "learn you" to do it.
