Shrinking Large files I have a picture that I need to get developed at 16X20 size. The problem is that it is 15MB and I can't uplaod the picture on any sites for developing becuase it is so big. How do I shrink the size down, without loosing quality for a 16X20? Help!

DON'T shrink it! You WILL lose quality. Send/upload it through http://www.yousendit.com/ to any eMail address you want. Max. 100MB per file. Got more than one file to send? Zip 'm together before you upload/send. As long as the file's size does not exceed 100MB.

It is a .jpg file. I tried to send to Wal-mart, but they picture can't be over 6MB, same with most on-line uploads for developing.

Don't do wal-mart anyway. Came in last for poor quality in a magazine comparison test. Know anybody that has fiber optic for their phone system instead of regular phone lines? If not, other upload places usually give the option of mailing a cd.

Since it's a .jpg, what W.S. is true. You can't reduce it without losing quality.

Jennifer, Have you tried www.mpix.com? I have gotten several 16x20s printed with them and was very pleased with the quality. I have never had a problem uploading large files to mpix. Chris A. Vedros
