Posting pictures on the forum.

There are 2 things involved in image size that make a big difference.

The first one is the size of the picture in pixels (dots making up the picture).  A 16 pixel picture can have file size cut in half if the picture size is cut in half.  If you have a Resize option in photo editing software changing the size by 50 percent cuts the filesize a lot.  I usually use a 50 percent size to make files smaller if the pic is intended for the net.   

The second big thing is done when you save a picture.  The Quality setting is usually the thing to look for.  Depending on the software used to work with pictures it is often found on a Other Settings or something like that.  When the quality is set to 50 it doesn't mean the picture turns to crap.  I usually use a 50 percent setting for this too.  ( 4.4. Compressing Images for Gimp software users ).

Adding a link means someone goes outside of this site.  If the image provider disappears or turns into a pay site the pics will be lost.  That's the down side of just providing a link.  There are many sites I visit that have lost a lot of their pics that way.
