Helen- don't mean to bother you as I am not a complete computer spaz but I have sized my pic down to the lowest compression and it's still saying its too large...
Suggestions?? (other than having you do them all the time..)
I don't have photoshop here..but I do have it at home..I just didn't want to load it on my work pc...
I am using Dell Image Expert...and I have the options to save as low med high..compression...

It's not a just a question of compression, it's a question of actual dimension size.  The picture must be no larger than 165 pixels high, and no wider than 120 pixels wide.  As a rule, if you make your picture that small then it will be under the 100kb max filesize (in kbs) by default.

So a portrait pic would have the dimensions of 165pixels high x 120pixels wide.  A landscape pic would be 90pixels high x 120 pixels wide, and a square picture would need to be 120pixels x 120 pixels.  It always helps to see if you resizing software has a 'sharpening' feature that will sharpen pictures once they've been resized, this helps reduce blurriness.  Photoshop has this under Filter > Sharpen > Sharpen.

For a Portrait photo that means the dimensions have to be Max. Height-165 Pixels Max. Width-120 Pixels, and for a Landscape photo Max. Height 90Pixels Max. Width 120Pixels, and a Square photo will be Max.Height&Width of 120Pixels.

Ok, did this,  (and I have done this before with my last pic) why is it so grainy?  :(
