Picture resolution on digital cameras keeps getting better and better by the day. The problem is that most digital cameras take pictures that are several megapixels large which is much too big to be seen on a regular computer monitor. Not to mention the bulk size of these pictures can get up in the megabyte range and that’s way too much to send by e-mail.

Resizing an image isn’t very hard. You can even do it with Microsoft Paint. The problem is that you just took 500 great pictures and you want to upload all of them to your MySpace.
