I use Adobe Photo Deluxe on a Mac OS X. Where would I compress my images in

There’s a distinction tha needs to be made here. The compression of a photo is
not as important as the overall size of the photo. Keep in mind that your camera
or scanner scans in an image of a given size (which these days is pretty darn
big). What you want to do is to reduce the size ofthe picture so a person can
load it quickly and view it without scrolling their window.
I use Photoshop, so I will make an assumption that your program is pretty close
to mine. What you want to do is go to the Image Size box (should be in the Image
tab) and change your size to something like a 640 pixel width. That will make
the picture fit most screens and do a lot toward making your file smaller. If
you want to keep your original image, go to Save as... and rename the smaller
file you just did.
