RCSteiner,

What do you know. That is interesting. Thanks for the location of the Image Information Icon. The picture in question (and resolved earlier):

Resolution is 300 x 300, Original Size is 800 x 600, and Current Size is 800 x 600.

Thanks for all the help!

800x600 tends to be a good resolution for a number of reasons.

1) It reduces the total size, making it easier to upload, download and e-mail.

2) Just about everyone runs their computers at a resolution larger than that, so they aren't needing to scroll across the screen to see the entire image.

Im not sure what paint did... but for size, I merely opened up my camera's pictures in paint (native resolution of the image = 2538x~2000, something ridiculous) and a size of 3-4MB. I then merely saved the file from paint, and it dropped the size down to 1MB.

I haven't been inclined enough to determine exactly what paint did, but as far as I can tell... the image hasn't changed at all. At any rate, if you find a file is too large... you might try that trick.
