With the help from members of the WetCanvas forum, I managed to shrink what was a very large file to an acceptable level for this blog. The thread can be found here.
My problem was very jagged edges once downsized. After some experimenting I decided to use "Bicubic Sharper" with PhotoShop without using the "Save to Web" function. The image is larger but because I want this blog to provide good quality images (I promise to get better ) the file will be larger. I will try and remember to put the size of the file with the link so that you have some warning if on a dial-up connection.
