    I have tons of photos I'd like to share with friends, post on the gallery here, submit along with vendor reviews etc, but they're all high resolution photos >5MB. The insert photo link in the posts distorts them a lot. So far my solution has been to take a screenshot of the original pic, copy, paste into Paint and save as a new jpeg. This reduced size to less than 100KB, but of course the resolution is horrible. What tools/websites can I use for a happy medium to get them somewhere around 500KB-1MB where they still look decent?

    Microsoft Office Picture Manager allows you to resize photos and you can choose the resolution levels.

    I use Photoshop to resize my images!

    If you don't need a complete graphics editor, but just a simple program to resize images, you could use PIXresizer, which is freeware.

    Meliss, if you have a Mac, the easiest way I resize is to open them in Preview and click on Tools on the menu bar.  Then choose Adjust Size.  A new window pops up and under "Fit Into" you just choose a smaller size and "save as."  Not sure what to do if you have a PC though. 2dBrides program sounds like a good option!

    If you don't have photoshop, you can use Window's Paint. I know that Windows 7's paint has a resizing tool and cropping tool. I don't know about other operating systems.
