Can any of you please tell me how to do this so I can make my pics fill the screen?

My emac only seems to let me do 20kb thumbnail shots or 1meg pics which take an eon to upload on dialup.....

.......what I need must be like a 250kb pic? :?

You'll want to keep the size to around 120kb or smaller, or WW won't let you attach it.

Do macs have Paint?

If so it is very simple, open the image with paint, and stretch/skew to the size you want.

If the image is still too big for ww, host it here:

Thanks guys- especially Brad.

The only thing I have is iphoto and I have followed the instructions as indicated but cannot seem to get the photo to resize properly.

I think I'm going to have to consult with someone more mac savvy than myself!! :?
