I'm not happy with the results of compressing my photos in the MS Office Picture Manager. My digital camera takes photos in the 3-4 MB range, with an overall size in the neighborhood of 3800 x 2500 pixels. Naturally, that won't work for uploading to a forum like this one. So more or less by default, I've been using the Compress Pictures for Web Page setting in MS Office Picture Manager, which results in pictures maybe 100K in size (fine, about the way we want it), but dimensionally they're smaller than what most guys post here, around 450 x 300 pixels. I notice the typical size of other photos posted here is more like 700 x 400 pixels. What should I do differently to get photos more like the common size?
