In photoshop go to file> save for web. In the window that pops up you can flip to the "optimized" section to see how it looks with the different forms of compression.
Gif is good for solid colors and jpeg is better for smooth gradients and photographs and such. Just try reducing the quality as a jpeg until you start seeing a noticeble decrease in image quality and then try stopping in a place that doesn't effect the image quality much. 60 is usually a decent setting for quality/size. Down at the bottom it will tell you what size the file will be with the current compression settings.

Copy merged (cntrl+a and shift+cntrol+c) and paste and resize and crop or copy and new. BTW use .pg for all sigs =)

you wanted to say .png

I don't usually go to "Save for Web...", I just lower the quality. But I suppose that I am doing it wrong.

Well I don't know if there is really any WRONG way of doing it, as long as you get the job done

The save for web feature can be helpful since it gives you a preview with the compression and
also has more options for getting your images as small and optimized as possible.

Ahh that's reassuring; because sometimes I find the "Save for Web..." method ended up with larger file sizes. But as you said, it is much easier to use "Save for Web...".

How To Reduce The Size?

My computer works fine, its just lately that when I read my email that the last 10 or so letters or word of each sentence is missing, I cant seem to fine where I can adjust or reset my screen size to get all of the letter to appear intact. Everything needs to be shifted to the left a inch or so. This only happens with my hotmail account. Thanks for your help.
