you can also load them into iphoto, then hold the apple key, shift key, and E key at the same time, then resize the pics that way to 640x480
or whatever size you need them to be. that is probably the easiest way to do it for simple resizing...and it comes free on your laptop!!
Easy for you to say ....
Again .... thank you for your expertise. I am so happy that you are willing to help us. (( thanks )))
