I already have a post in Technical but was wondering if there are any PC people who could help me, what makes one pic larger in KB or MB than another (sorry, dumb question but no tech knowledge there). I have the same camera and am not changing anything on it and some of my photos are now too big to post. They went from, say, 995 KB to 2.75 MB. Huh?

I think that site explains it pretty well!
well, I don't know much about the digital world except that I take high resolution photos and, for the ones that I want to post on this site, I edit and re-size them in photoshop. Then, instead of hitting the save button (because I don't want to ruin my high resolution image) I hit save for the web and it'll save a copy that is lower resolution, so it's fewer pixels, but it maintains the actual image size. So if you have a photo editing program, you can edit your photos that way so you can still post them.

So you did not change the file format? The extention is still the same one?like *.jpg?
Is it the same pic or two different pics?
Sorry your question is not very clear but it could just be that I am tired and my brain is shutting down cognitive process until I wake up tomorrow.
Anyway, the higher the resolution on a pic the more detail it has. The more details it has the larger the file size.
Also, different file formats maybe different sizes. For instance if I save an image as a bitmap it maybe 500 kb. Then when I take the same image an save it as jpeg/jpg format the file size may only be 99 kb due to file compression.
Thanks everyone! Sheila, Heath said the same, resize and edit and do Save for Web and it worked! Cake Princess, yes it is still a *jpeg and for several photos. Just posted one, so we'll try it with others and hopefully it will work. Too bad I can't edit the cake to look better! Thank you!
