My pictures are 590 KB, and I was wondering how to reduce them to 200 so I can add them to image dump. Or, is there a site that will let me put up pics with 590KB? Thank you for any answers.

Open them in MSPiant, and then save them as .jpgs

In theoptions, dont know where exactly, sorry, you can choose the quality of the screen shots.

I opened it in Paint, but I don't see how to shrink it.

When you save it, it will automatically downsize.

Download Irfan View, save as, choose jpg and quality. Check the new file size and then adjust the quality as necessary (always save from the original so you don't lose more quality than necessary.)

That's so much more complicated

MUCH EASIER WAY-

Go to the ingame options by pressing ctrl+o. Go to the first tab, and scroll all the way down. At the very bottom, there is a thing that allows you to change the quality of the screenshot. Make the bar at its lowest. Now wasn't that easy? No more resaving each and every picture by using another program...

Doesn't this way give you a much less visual quality picture? The MSPaint way keeps the quality the same.

true, but why must the picture be of great quality? As long as you can see everything, and read everything, what's the problem? Also, it's way more efficient because you will never have to open the EACH picture up onto another program, then resave each one. This is just a one-time thing.
