I keep getting a message the file is too large. I don't know how to make it smaller. Like I said - totally new to this.

Are you using PSE?

I forgot to say, that after I resize it to 600 x 600, I change it to "high" instead of "Maximum". I don't have a layout right now to give you the exacts of where the part is, but for me, it's after I resize it, and after I save it.

Hopefully someone more technical can help you!

I think my computer is rebelling to my planned scrapping weekend! First java wasn't playing nice, than I had problems getting into the forum at another site and had to contact customer service....NOW, my settings are all over the place! I have my "home" set to my e-mail, and right now, it keeps taking me to wherever the last place I visited was! I'm trying to reset it, but honestly, I'm not sure how! And all this playing around is taking away from time to scrap! arrrghhh!

If you're using Photoshop Elements, this action is the quickest, easiest way to save for web (and it's only $1): http://www.scraps-n-pieces.com/store...oducts_id=4339

Once you run the action, then click -->File -->Save for web. You'll get a pop up box. In the upper right corner are 3 lines. Click there -->Optimize File Size Then you'll get another pop up box. I usually put 247k in there so it's always set & ready to save.

Hope this helps!

I must be the biggest ninny in the world, but I can't seem to get the Chat thingie to work right. I've updated Java, I'm on Mac, I go in there, but there's no one there. What am I doing wrong?

Totally frustrated!!!
Can't seem to catch a break. My comment keeps saying program not responding so I can't get ANYTHING done!!! Sucks because husband is out of town and kids are out for most of the day. I was all set!

hm... don't know... we are in there during the SS times... usually no one is in the room once the hour is over... Try again at 2:00 Eastern time. We should be in the room.

Good luck!
