<p>I'm having some trouble loading my photo. When I paste it onto a Word doc it is about 570 kb, but it needs to be 250. What did you guys do? Should I email it seperately?</p>
<p>Can you use iPhoto? In iPhoto, you can export the picture to your desktop in various sizes (i.e. smaller sizes until you get to 250). Too bad if you can't do that. That's what I did. If you can't do that, you can keep creating new documents and decreasing the size and pasting it into a new document. But you can only save once. If you make the picture smaller after saving, the file size won't go down. You'd just have to keep trying until you get the right size. I wouldn't email it to them separately because that might be annoying. Other people have coped, so the Columbia people might wonder why you don't do the same. Time is running out, too. They might be less willing to cooperate if you've left it to the last minute to load your picture.</p>
<p>I'm trying that, but its not working...</p>
<p>Too bad you don't use a mac, because I don't know what windows users use for photos. If you can get to a mac, you can download iPhoto and "import" the photo into iPhoto in the file menu, "export" the photo from iPhoto to the desktop, also in the file menu, and play around with the size of the photo when exporting. I don't have any other advice. Sorry.</p>
<p>Use paint to make it smaller?</p>
<p>did columbia actually ask for a photo, or did you just decide to send one?</p>
<p>they ask for one, but it's optional</p>
<p>photoshop--> image size? change the resolution and size, then paste back into word? I'm not sure if that works, but worth a try</p>
