Don't see a picture - just a small red x.

haha, . . . yeah, it was soo huge it couldn't even fit on my TV screen . . . . still trying to learn Photoshop Elements 7 and I apparently have missed a chapter or two . . . . or three . . . .

Wait just a minute. You are male ergo just like driving (and not asking for directions) or assembling a bbq (and not reading the instructions) you don't need to read any chapters. You just screw around with it until you figure it out. Or wait for a 14 year old to show you.

In edit mode click save for web. Then go to the right hand side of the window that opens and make the longest side 640 px or so - hit apply. Then look to see how big the file is. It should say right there perhaps under the photo. If it is > 200 kb lower the image quality and check again. When less than 200 accept it and save it. Hope that helps.

Don't make the resizing of the image more than 600 wide or it will cut off your text on the right side of your post.
600X450 fits perfect for posting resized pictures.

Wish I had some old photo's of my rig! I still have the twin 42 with j-valve. I still have one of the original bend-omatic computers! My vest was orange with a C02 cartridge!! I survived but had a few close calls including having to drop both mesh bags full of Abalone because my J-valve reserve was gone! Switched tanks and went back down to get the Abalone!

The Dacor Dart...my first regulator. I loved that unit and wish I still had it ... neck strap and all. So, how come there's no C02 cartridge inflator on your safety vest? How archaic!

Chris - just WHAT are you trying to say? . . . . . I looked . . . . no 14 yr olds in the neighborhood, by the way (damn)

Nancy & Bill get the "photo supporter" (not to be confused with athletic supporter) award of the year. Thank you. BTW, there is nothing in the book about your hint, Nancy but that's where experience and expertise sure help . . . . kudos. It's still a little large but I can trim that down, . . . . I think. [8D]

This was back around 1970, use to dive for golf balls at the local courses when I wasn't working at Ikelite, double 50's (a la James Bond), j valve pull rod showing, Dacor Dart (normally used my double hose but think it was in the shop), VW squareback car, CO2 inflator vest . . . . . . wow, what a dude . . . . no other comments are necessary . . . . . . just post your own nostalgia trip

. . . ah hah . . . . but there is! . . .. you can just see the white cord hanging out of the side by my left arm . . . . . used to "pop" each others cords every now and then just to shock the wearer (only when we had a spare to give them though . . it was fun, not supposed to be cruel and only did it above water) . . . . . course we did a lot of things that I'd never admit too

. . . course the pond was only about 4 feet deep . . . could've just stood up! . . . . ah, training and toys
