sizing my screen shots

[VayCayMom]

When I make my picures 600 x 480 they are too big, yet they look pretty small in actual size. I can't upload them. Why do my 600x480 picures equal like 400 kb ( or whatever) and not under 200 as the requirement?
Also, how can I take a proper screen shot, as a member called it, without using a camera?

Problem is you are probably saving as BitMap, not Jpeg.
(Jpegs take up 10x less memory!)

Thanks KK, I had it in JPEG but I think I had it saved in a very high resolution.
Thanks again.
