John, what program are you using to do the resize. If its elements then after you have done a resize do a save as it will then come up with a box move the slider to below 200kb. Save as also keeps the exif data.

John, try downloading FastStone (you'll have to Google it), a free bit of software than you can use for re-sizing - set the resolution to 72 DPI.

John, try downloading the Gimp. It's free and at least as good as Elements 3 or 4.

Because many of us can't afford it. I have PS7 but it was years before I was able to find a cheap copy on ebay. I'd like to upgrade to CS3 but doubt that I'll ever do so.
