Good job, and the photos were very helpful. The price you paid was only a few cents more than I pay at my military commissary, so besides getting a good meal you didn't get scalped.

I see...
Do you use Windows? Windows has it´s own "office picture manager" where you can change the size of a picture.

I was always a big fan of pixlr.com for image resizing. Load up the advanced editor in flash (free), open the local picture, go to the image menu and choose size and scale it down. Then save back to the computer and you're done. It's like a free online photoshop so it has a ton of other features, but the image resizer is lossless so it doesn't make things look weird or grainy when it resizes them.

No wonder that base powder was so strong, you're supposed to use 12 ounces (about 2 of those cola glasses if they're the same size as over here) of water :lol:

If you upload it as an attachment and then use "place inline" it'll make a nice and small image:

And when you click on it it returns to its original size.
