did the camera come with any software? photoshop lite etc? If so, you should be able to shrink it...

You'll need some type of photoeditor, hopefully you got one with the camera, if not your gonna need to get one, unless your comp already has one. If you have a photoeditor and don't know how to use it, go through it's tutorial or post what it is and someone will be able to tell you what to do.

If you don't have a photoeditor, try Kazaa. You will be surprised what you can find on there.

www.irfanview.com is IMO the best freeware image editor. I use it on all my digital pics and it's great. Make sure you dl the plugins tho so you can optimize the jpgs and rotate them losslessly.

2nd irfanview. I'm sure though that your camera came with the necessary software for this, especially if it's producing monster-size files.

irfanview is really nice and has raw support for most cameras so you can get the best picture...

and it's free

acdsee 3.x is good as well if you can find a copy. the newest versions suck

if you have windows xp, download this
http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...ertoySetup.exe
install that, drag all the files you want to resize into a folder, right click inside the folder and choose resize. done

o yeah, and its free also hehe
