hi been trying to post couple of pics on DW but it says that my files are to large.I am using a laptop and was wondering what the best method of making the files smaller is  or a good programme [free] that does it for you

Try Irfanview and make sure to download the plugin pack as well.  I take it you are using a PC ?

Personally I wouldn't bother downloading anything as you will already have Windows "Paint" installed on your computer and to do it it couldn't be simpler...
Open Paint by going to the start menu-all programs-accessories-paint...... when loaded import the photograph you want by clicking on the left hand blue tab and choosing the open option, now navigate to the pic you want and double click on it.

You will be faced with something like this




Now click on the resize button at the top and in the drop down click pixels, now you have two figures below this which are the Horizontal and Vertical sizes you just need to adjust the greater of these to 700* and click OK.



Now the image will have reduced and simply once again click the top left blue file tab and select "save" or "Save As" if you want to make a copy but keep the original Wink


*The 700 pixel size is based on starting with a 12mp image you may have to adjust this for larger or smaller mp sizes (smaller for smaller and larger for larger) Wink
