Storage space on your hard drive is very inexpensive,
but storage space on the web is quite expensive.
The size of a photo from a digital camera is usually between
1 MegaByte and 2 MegaBytes. Most web-pages have a limited
amount of on-line disk space, between 10 MegaBytes and
100 Megabytes. This means that you are limited to between
100 and 1000 photos. At fast modem speeds, the download time
is about minute, which is long time to wait. My solution
is to reduce the resolution down to 10%, which is a reduction
of 90% allowing you to store 10 times as many photos as before.
People viewing your photos will find that the transfer rate is
10 times faster.
