<font color='#0000FF'>Well since you can only upload pictures with a size up to 30 kb directly to the posts I suggest you go into &quot;image size&quot; and make it about 700 pixels wide. Thereafter you go to &quot;save for web&quot; and reduce the quality of the image 'till you've got your 30kb.

Another way is to upload your images to the free site www.photobucket.com.
Very easy. Follow the instructions. Once you've uploaded the images, any size up to 250 kb, you'll see some lines underneath the thumbnails. You can copy the the lower line and paste it directly into your post...

it will look something like

If the link is valid you'll only see a picture.

Your pictures should in any case be 1000 pixels across or less since that's the normal width of a computer screen.

Capiche?

<font color='#0000FF'>This screen picture has been reduced to 600 pixels across and reduced to 14 percent quality in order to get below 30kb to fit directly into the post. Not too good, huh?

Any roads, please ask again if it's unclear.

wierd, didnt seem to work that time...

<font color='#0000FF'>Yes please, bore us senseless. Nice pictures. I thought the exposure on that triggerfish was just perfect.

About image refining.
Not sure if you did already on some of your pics but try using &quot;autolevel&quot; to start with. If that looks crap just undo and go to &quot;level&quot; and try adjusting the different settings. You'll see where you lack colour on the curves and graphs.
I just did a quick one with you &nbsp; to show what I mean.
On newer Photoshops you'll find &quot;shadow/highlight&quot;. It's a revolution.

The trigger fish was definately posing! Got lots to learn on the whole post processing business. Anyhow thanks for your help. &nbsp;
