Hi Barbara, I allways try to keep my pics under 200 kb's That is plenty large enough and they load pretty quick for us poor folks that are stuck with dialup access. It took your 455 kb scan about 3 minutes to download in my mail if that gives you any idea.

I have scanned an xray and I would like to send it to someone. When I attach it in attachment, it says 455.9kb Is that too big to send to someone? I don't want to jam up somebody's mail, and I don't know much about scanning things myself..so I was hoping someone out there could give me a crash course in what size I should keep things under.
