This is great! Thanks! Now it's time to show how much of a novice I am...bear with me!

When I import pics from my camera and open them in PS (CS4) the document size automatically defaults to 48x32...and pixel dimensions are 22.8M (3456px x 2304). Is there something I should be doing to get smaller images?

Also, I was just playing with an image and I think I figured out how to crop it to a specific size - it takes away A LOT of the image!! Yowsa!

Thanks for all your help! I'm sure I'll be picking everyone's braing even more in the coming days!
