Gee, is that an old photo?

You usually seem so reasonable in your responses.

But ya' look like a kid.

And I don't know nuthin' about photo resizing.

What photo editing software are you using?  Vitually all photo software has resizing features.

It seems like 640x480 pixels are a good size for the web.  Go easy on the .JPG compression as well.

Hmmm - here's a little techno babble for you RE: photo sizing...

I think you have linked to the thumbnail previews of your pics... not the pics themselves... or they would have come thru the same size as you took them.

I second the thumbnail opinion.

I dont know shit about computers but I know that that looks like a fine family you got there. Try not to screw it up. Kids are cool!

Edited to clarify "try not to screw it up"= the picture that is.

Picturology 101:

Digital images are made of colored dots called pixels.

The size of an image is usually described in the form of pixels wide by pixels high.

Resizing images is done by increasing/reducing the number of pixels in the image. This almost always results in a loss of quality. The higher end editors do a better job maintaining image quality.

Microsoft Paint is a freebie that comes with most versions of Windows. If can resize images but quality loss will be noticeable.

There are other free editors that do a better job of resizing but most of them tease you by showing fancy editing tools that will only work if you buy the 'pro' version.

Adobe Photoshop is probably the best image editor but it's expensive and overkill if all you want to do is re-size your pictures.

Paint Shop is a good alternative. It does most of what Photoshop can do and costs much less.

If you're thinking of getting a digital camera then I would hold off on buying an image editor. Most cameras come with some kind of editor and all of them can do the basics (resize, red eye reduction, adjust brightness/color balance).

Oh yeah, congratulations!
Good looking family.
