Looking for file size under 500kb, depends what program you are using, but if you go to the file section and go "Save As" it should give you an option to reduce file size or quality and it will then show you the size.
Other way if its a PC is to highlight all the file you want to upload and right click on them and then "send to" it will then go through your outlook express if PC or entourage if Mac, it will then give you a option to reduce file size, which will reduce them all at once, they will then be in the attachments of the email, these can then be dragged and dropped into a separate folder where you can store them
I always see both sides of the argument, the one that's wrong and mine.....

Some people accuse me of thinking the world revolves around me, but it doesn't. It revolves around the Sun which shines out of my arse.

I use Irfan, very easy to download and use. You can reduce to any size you want plus has imaging tweaks as well. Just remember to save as the new reduced size.
