I have an old Hewlett Packard photo printing program which came with an HP printer I bought years ago. It allows me to tweak photos (adjust brightness in light, medium, and dark areas; fix rotation and/or flip to mirror image; adjust sharpness; adjust color balance and saturation; and crop.) Then they can be "saved as" in four levels, "maximum" down to "low". Charles' photo came as an email attachment and was 215 kb. I fished through the layers of stuff until I found Eudora's attachment files, found the photo, opened it in the program, and "saved as" into a different place (in "My Documents") at "low." That shrank it to 76 kb or so.

So, my new Charles Faulk 14" crowbar, of German pear, will need a new coat. I feel honored that Charles was willing to go against his usual (short, neat) philosophy to give me the leverage I wanted. The hammer he came up (or around?) with is quite light on its feet, and agile, considering the length. I compressed the jpg, so I hope it doesn't use too much bandwidth now. Susan P.S. If you'd just let a few of them run around naked at the same time, maybe you could save Charles some work .....?
