Well, many ways to do this.

What kind of program do you use to look at or edit your pics with now?

I use Photoshop and there's an option to save images for web use. Shrinks the filesize down to something manageable.

Now other programs can do the same thing, just not sure of the steps to accomplish in every program.

If you give the program you use, we might be able to give you some specific steps.

photoshop is a very expensive program last time i checked.

if you have microsoft office on your computer check and see if you have miccrosoft office picture manager. it should come bundled... all you do is open the picture and mine automatically brought up a sidebar on the right that was the compress pictures settings. i'm sure there's a way to get that bar to open if it doesn't automatically.. you click the option you want, *it gives you the new file sizes at the bottom of the sidebar* and compress away!

no matter what program you end up using, it'd prolly be a good idea to keep a copy of your original picture in case you ever want to send someone the higher resolution file for whatever reason. just save your compressed version as a different file name that lets you know it's your compressed version.... *shrug*

is that hp program the only one you've got for pictures?

How about "photo resizer". It's free.

You just resize your photos and save them.

Then delete the original larger (2.7 MB) photos; or burn them on a CD; just in case.

EDIT: There's also a resize image online site.
