One of the items that I often see our customers fighting is the management of photographs taken from their digital cameras.  The camera default settings are typically the problem.  Unless you edit the settings, you may find yourself taking very large pictures.  Taking the pictures at the largest setting makes it a bear to email or upload. 

 There are plenty of photo or Jpeg resizing software applications online to download.  We have found one by Microsoft that is free and very simple to use; however, it only works on Windows XP.  Below is the link to download the Image Resizer.

Once the Image Re-sizer is downloaded and installed just select the pictures you wish to resize, right click your mouse and select “Resize Picture”  pick the new size (usually 640 x480) and a new copy is made of the image.  Fast and Simple.  Below is more information regarding Microsoft Power Toys.
