Link to shrink Super easy from my computer geek son
 

DS finaly had time to help me on how to shrink the picture so I could load it. He showed me how to do it in paint but then showed me an even easier way. Maybe this is of some help to others.

Here's a tool that adds an option to your right click menu: http://imageresizer.codeplex.com/releases/view/30247

Only for Windows computers, but thanks.
