How do I change a picture's resolution for e-mail or to enter the Hot Pic contest?

There's no doubt that this question outnumbers all others by a factor of two. If you shoot a good hi-res image with a 3- or 4-megapixel digital camera, you want to save a copy of that image in a lower resolution for e-mail--otherwise, the picture hogs too much space and takes too long to transmit. To do this you'll need to use the resize or resample function in your image editing program. If you're a Paint Shop Pro user, for instance, you'd choose Image, Resize from the menu and enter a smaller pixel size, such as 640 by 480. Remember to save this smaller image using a different file name so that you can preserve the original hi-res image for editing and printing.
