ok then!

Don't know what kind've photo program you got--but there's probably something under edit that allows you to make a duplicate of the pic (so you don't screw up your original). So--make a duplicate...

Now--when you make it, it should allow you to control the resolution--I usually go to 85%--still clear, but cuts down on the thingies. Also--try to make sure the pic is 600x480 or something like that. Bigger than that is bigger than you need here--and it cuts down on the thingies too.

Remember--duplicate first--the original you save may be your own.
