Are you trying to get the image to appear smaller or
the file size reduced? Those are two totally different
subjects. IF she wants it to load faster, then the
file size has to be compressed, not the screen size.

Just trying to read between the lines on her comment. 

When I had dialup, (which incidentally wasn't long
ago) I wanted something less than 100kb file size for
emailing, but some 30kb jpegs would fill the screen,
just not high resolution. If this is what we are
talking about and NOT caring if the screen is full,
then you need to compress the file. Some high res
images can be very large and take several minutes to
d/l via 56k. (I only have the cheapie dsl..256k, but
it sure makes a difference)
