Thanks K.

I'll have to try your suggestions when I get a minute. I just spent the last hour writing this reply which I tried to accompany with the pics that I scanned and resized twice. The HP program sucks for resizing and they came out still too large. So then I took the HP resized pics and resized them again in the Interactive JPEG Optimizer, which does a great job of resizing(very easy). But then after I wrote this reply the first time, I went to attach the re-resized pics from the Interactive JPEG Optimizer only to find that as far as the rest of this computer is concerned they don't exist, as they are not in any way directly connected to the main list of files. So I had to go back to the Interactive JPEG Optimizer program where I found the files hidden in a folder called the working directory, and then copy them out of there and send them from there to the Pictures folder in the main directory. It took me well over an hour to figure all that out. So now I'm up to 5 or 6 hours to post 3 pics which are not going to be top quality anyway.

I am going to post this, then come back to attach the pics, because last time I tried this, I lost the window with this post in it and now I am writing this a second time!

Well, there they are! Looks like I forgot to rotate them. Actually they came out of the HP program the right way, but when they went into Interactive JPEG Optimizer, it rotated them without asking me about it. I could have rotated them back, but the IJO is great for compressing and terrible for everything else, even simple tasks such as rotating which takes a long time and sometimes just glitches entirely when you try to rotate a pic. Oh, well, that's thebest I can do for now!
