I have tried to post some of my work in the past and I think that it size of the pics were too large. Thanks to Loy Hawes and John Hart for the help i think this time it will work. The spirals on the Christmas tree bulbs are my adaption of a class I took form Stuart Morttimer (I think that is how he spells his name). I hope you like them, but if not please advise me on the way to improve them. the red one is dyed Maple with ebonized finials. the other one is Myrtle wood from Oregan with walnut finials.

Nice work Ron! If you need a program to manage your photos, give Picasa a look. I have very little experience with it. However, I hear it is a great program and Google offers it for free!

Ron,if you are looking for something that can resize very fast. Check out a tool Microsoft offers for free called Image Resizer. All you have to do is right click on the picture and then choose the size you want. Here is the link. The file is located towards the bottom of the page.

Ron, from what I can see, those are really beautiful ornaments. I would love to see a clear photo of them both. It looks like in order to get a small enough size you cut way down on the resolution. Do you have Photoshop by any chance? If so, try using the "Save for Web" feature. There, you can change the image size to 400 pixels in width (it will adjust the height accordingly) then you can "Optimize to file size" for 35 or 40 Kb (or whatever is allowed on SMC now) You will find that there is very little degradation of the optimized photo. Keep 'em coming!

Loy,
thanks for the tip on the software, I've been looking for just such a utility. Opening Photoshop and using their cumbersome "save for web" program is just too unwieldy. The MS program is very quick and great quality for the web.
