I have Win7 SP1. I take pictures of about 4 MB with a good quality

small pictures with the camera the quality/definition is very good. I
don't want to take two shots of everything just to be able to get
small pictures for emailing. Why cant large quality pictures be
reduced to smaller ones - with the same definition?

Convert the large JPG image to a lossless format, like PNG, then reduce
that image.

No smiley? :-)
