I give up!... I did it before but can't repeat it, how do you resize a pic down to the required 100 x 100 pixels max 6KB limit?.... preferably using PS7.

After a dozen attemps at uploading a pic that is less than the above I keep getting the message that it must be under the allowable size.

Tried the "Save for web" feature?

If it's still too big, lower the size a bit more. 100 pixels on either side is the maximum... you can go lower.
