Don,
Back some time ago someone posted a freeware program that they had downloaded and it did a good job of downsizing pictures. I can't remember the date or the post but it had something to do with posting pictures. Perhaps a search would turn it up if that is all that Tim is trying to do. I don't recall the person saying how it was for doing touch up and such but the downsized pictures he posted are better than what I have managed so far.
