Then go back up to File, Save As, re- name it and put it in a different folder. Just upload that new, compressed pic and the photo will be large sized when you click on it in the album. <b>When you close out of the Picture Manager, it will ask if you want to save the changes. Be sure to click "Don't save changes" because you probably don't want the originals to be compressed!!!!!</b></p><p><br /></p><p> I know it sounds like a lot of hassle but this was the easiest part for me. I could delete an old pic, go compress it, save it and upload it again in about a minute. Not as bad as it sounds, but definitely more hassle than it should be![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
