| Shrinking the image would be resizing the image to a smaller size with an image editing tool (software) and saving it smaller than the original. Squeezing the image would be setting the properties of the image to a size smaller that it is, so that it will display at that smaller size. The image still contains all the bits that make it large so the only thing you gain, is being able to view the whole image without scrolling around, it will still take a lot of bandwidth to get the image across the net. I'll sometimes squeeze images posted by others so that I can easily view the whole image on my monitor, but that doesn't help bandwidth issues. Bandwidth issues were what was causing the slow response of this threads first post. Peace
