They will also upload on POE more quickly. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

When Ron has finished his magic approving and checking etc they are much smaller. For instance my Owl pic 1180192 shows as 2686 x 1989 (2.5 mb I think when i did it) yet if you right click and save it to PC it comes out as 1000 x 741 with a minimal size of 262 kb, which as you rightly say Sally is no use to anyone except web use. But a good point which I am sure will have been raised before at some time. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
