I'm not sure what 30 means or even if it's a unit of measure to anything other than paint? but are you using the same camera?

I've just down sized 3 picies in paint and it seems to working just fine. I click on resize, click on pixels and select 700 in the top box. The size is automatically changed and I select safe when exiting.

I have noticed a change with down loading though. Till a couple of weeks ago as soon as I linked the camera to the computer a box full of selections came up. This has now gone and it took a lot of juggling around to find out how to down load. Now sorted but why do programs change, seemingly, on their own. >:(

OK now I've got it, just had a look and your 30 is % Doh! I imagine you have a new camera? if I reduce mine to 30% it's still miles to big for the site. If you let me know what MP your camera is shooting at I'll be able to tell you the reduction ;)
