Ben:

Hot water works if they are cotton or wool. Cold water doesn't do much.

This is how it works on my Mac:

Open the pic on your desktop. On the Mac I get a bar across the top called PREVIEW. Go to TOOLS and drag down to "Adjust Image Size" There you can adjust the width or height to a smaller dimension and you'll see the size change with each modification. I think the max. for this site is 250 K. I usually change mine to 5 or 6 inches wide at 72 dpi and that gets it below 250K.

Did you get the prints that I sent?
