Resize the photo to a maximum of 800 pixels wide, and resize it at 72 dpi.
When you save it you may be prompted as to how much jpeg compression to use.
The more you use the smaller the file but keep in mind that quality in the
end result will drop with the increase in compression. I'm sure others can
go into more detail, but this is what works for me.

Subject: [OM] Re: Digital Photo Emailing
| Fellow Zuiks,
|
| Well the C4040 finally arrived after the jam up over the Priority Mail
| getting lost. I haven't had a chance to do too much with it yet due to
work
| and because the camera is pretty complex; lots of buttons and menus to
learn.
|
| One of the objectives is to be able to email photos. The thing takes
| beautiful photos, but the files are huge. Like 2.5Megs. So, if one
emails
| such a photo it won't fit on the screen. As a techno-dimbulb, I have no
idea
| how to deal with this. I can scan a conventional photograph and control
the
| size by controlling the dpi. Is there a way to reduce the file size with
the
| digital camera? (Of course there is, I am sure) I have Photo Shop LE and
| suspect the answer may be in that program. The camera has three recording
| modes and even on the lowest setting (I think HQ is the lowest setting)
the
| files are huge.
|
| OM content - I still love the sound and feel of my OM-1 and shot some
florals
| with it yesterday.
