A picture need only be 3x5 at 72 DPI I prefer .gif for photos, and .jif for drawings. Your picture should be around 50,000 75,000 bites .... make it bigger and we all suffer from long loading times. I'm not exactly sure what a huge picture does to the bullentin board in terms of clogging up the bandwidth or whatever they call it, but I heard it wasn't good.
We use Corel 6 Photopaint. In the pull down menus of photo programs, you should find resampling tools to resize the picture and reduce the DPI....72 DPI is the limit...bigger is not better.
now, let's see some more of your beautiful signs! Thanks for sharing

Awfull huge ain't it? That is a JPG scanned at 70dpi, but obviously goofed on something else. I'll try to get the next one smaller.

Actually, I don't think I would have wanted to see that sign too much smaller, we wouldn't have been able to appreciate that nice grain as well. To crop it would be an idea, but then we'd miss that nice sloped pole mount.
Incidentally, to resize a picture ... it's done in photoshop after it's scanned in. You adjust image size in there ... and can also crop the picture in there.
You may want to attach photoshop and play around in there sometime. Ask if you have any questions.
