Put them on photo bucket first and you can make them any size you want.

They have to be down sized for this forum ,but be sure to save them in the larger size if they are going to print them in the magazine.  :)

I have found that the percentage method works best I have a 12mp camera and I reduce the pics to 10% and it works well.Ron
