If you want to resize the image resolution use the "Image resize" function under the menu "Image". and select the size you want, such as width 800 and Height 600

If you want to make the file size smaller (less memory) the use the "Save for Web" function under the "File" menu and select your option in the top right, so for example select JPG with medium quality.

Much simpler than that is if you use the UR uploader which automatically resizes.

thanks will give it a go. only thing with the u/r resizer is it takes ages to make 12.2 megapixel files to the size it needs.. len
