The one cakey mentioned is a good one if you dont have anything already n your computer. Ive used it before and its pretty straight forward
If you have photoshop you can use that to resize it/Compress it also. Go file save for web...
Also your digital camera should have come with a basic photoeditig programme. In here there should be options when you save a photo to change the image quality or size.
So save it as: photo_version2.jpg
or something like that and make sure the size is within the requird specs for Gallery photo uploads....As below
FILE SIZES AND DIMENSIONS
File sizes
You have a limit of 3 megabytes space for images. Each individual image should be less than 250Kb. If all your images are about 250Kb that allows you to upload 12 images. Obviously if you optimise your image files so they're smaller you'll be able to add a lot more images.
Dimensions
As long as your image is within the file size above, it cam be any height or width. Bear in mind though that there's little point having an enormous picture that swallows the screen and that the smaller your images are, the better quality they can be and the more images you are likely to fit in your 3 megabyte limit. Also bear in mind that the images are shown at different sizes around the gallery, and very short but wide, or very tall but narrow images won't look so good as thumbnails.
Over the limit?
If you've used up your quota of file space, you won't be able to add more images. Either delete old images to add new ones, or try optimising some of the images and, after deleting the originals, reuploading them to create more space.
