On my web site, I have had more than a few "complaints" that my pics load too slow. I am sure I scanned them at too high a resolution. I had planned to take some photos off soon, as it is a little cluttered,and redo the signs photos page, so what can I do about the dpi. Should I take them back into photoshop and resample at a lower resolution? Waiting for replies.

Thanks Doc. Did what you said on the thumbnails. That seemed to be the problem. I went back and made thumbnails at 150 pixels and low resolution and it helped quite a bit. THanks for the help.
