Image resizing

[Emptymag]

I'm still a bit confused when it comes to web image sizes.

I use Photobucket(.com) to host my images.
I think that it automatically resizes/reduces file size down to 1MB if the original image is larger than that.
I work in Print Advertising and 1MB is a microscopic file compared to what I normally work with.

If what I'm posting is making it difficult for people, lemme know.

The quality of reduce photo's is not noticeably reduced. BEST OF ALL IT'S FREE

Here's another image program (free, BTW):

This one does a fine job...just go to IMAGE=>RESIZE/RESAMPLE and do your changes.
