  Hello photo-folks ! -- hope you can help me with a little problem  --  I'm having trouble getting a thumbnail under the 15 kb limit.

---this never was a problem -  before I went digital -- just resized the image's dimensions to  approx 2"x 2" or under - and 72dpi -----jpeg saved at quality 5 - and presto !   - a neat little thumb was created that was under the size limit---  only time I  had a problem was working with a Kodak CD ---which had this extra infor tacked on ( camera model etc )

----- now that I am shooting with a digital cam ( Canon 30D ) ---- and using their software to save images ---- the shooting infor seems to hinder my previous method of creating a thumb ---so that even if I save at quality 1 ---the resultant thumb is still way over the limit !

----- I'm sure there's a simple solution - that I'm just not thinking of -- maybe -how to shear off the exif information ? ----anyway ---thanks for any input.

since you're using their software.. to edit too?.. & if there's not a "save for web" option? or "optimize"? (like PS or PSP).. you can use a small little program called Easy Thumbs from

www.fookes.com
