Pete.... speaking from a vast pool of ignorance, I can only add to an earlier reply, that when I pull up your picture,and copy it to another program (corelDRAW), the file (and picture) are huge.

The first thing that comes to mind is, to ask what density setting are you using to take the picture in the first place? ie a "high quality" setting is great for photos that don't get far from your computer, but they don't do well on the web because they may be so large.

A nominal (or preset) JPG conversion utility used to send photos on the web will help to reduce the file size, but if you are starting with several megs of data to begin with, the file is still pretty large. The only reason I know this is that in corelDRAW there is an "export" feature that has an adjustable slider to set the percentage of compression, and side by side comparison screens to preview the degradation that higher compressions will cause. This way one can adjust to an acceptable loss of detail. But the amazing thing to me, is not only how much compression a photo will tolerate, but also how a four million bit photo can be reduced to a few thousand bits with seemingly not much degradation.

So the short version of all this is, if you are taking pictures in the high quality mode and have the option to reduce that a bit, that may be a fix???

I'm sure somebody out there has far more knowledge of this than I, so have at it anybody. 8-)
