This is kinda embarassing........my camera is only a dinky little 2 mp.........
I reduced the two I put over in Horses & Dogs today to 25% of original, and they look pretty good, size wise, anyway.
So, I'll just go with that.
NR, if you reduce them first, it doesn't take as long to load them into PhotoBucket........but I do notice that "Images larger than 1 MB are automatically resized." So if you put big ones there, that may be how they get reduced.
