I am not a computer whiz but I am not stupid either. But for some reason I can not figure out how to get my pictures on CC. I know how to do the CC part but my photos are all too big. (2.50 mb) I need to make them smaller before downloading but I can not figure out how to do that. Any computer whizes out there? help! icon_cry.gif

thanks

What photo editing program do you have on your computer?

Sorry, was off line there for a few days. I just download them into the "My Pictures" on my computer then I copy them over to a program online and edit them there to share and order hard copies. I guess that is my problem, I can't figure out how to edit them in the My Pictures file. Should I copy them over to another program to edit them?

TIA

I downloaded a free program called Irfanview. I use this to crop and size my pictures etc. There aren't a TON of editing options, but it is a good plce to do quick edits, create a smaller picture and easier uploads. Hope that helps icon_biggrin.gif

I double click on the photo

Mine opens in Microsoft Photo Editor

Click on image on the menu bar

Click resize

enter the size values you want to use

click ok

Then save or just hit close and you are prompted to save the changes!

That's what I do.
