You need to get an image processor so that you can reduce them in size, quality, etc.. they don't look as good as they do right now, but they will be fine.

You need to compress them into .gif or .jpeg, they come out as .bmp in the Aces directory.

I don't know what free programs can do that, maybe the Kodak image thing that comes with Windows.. but I know MS Paint won't.

if you dont have any kind of image editing software, you might be able to .zip the .bmp up and post that. not sure if that will get them small enough to upload though.

Hi BGBMAW,
 There are loads of image manipulation programs out there, Try this one (It's Free) :)

 (It will take an AH bmp and do this to it. Original was almost 5mb, this is 16.7kb :)

First of all: Kewl Pics Snafu!:)
 
AKSWulfe is right; Kodak Imaging-a program that comes with
your Microsoft Operating system, will allow you to convert your
Aces High Screenshots, but... It will only change them from
the 3MB 32bit color Bitmaps they start out as,  to 2.25MB 24bit
color Bitmaps.
What I do is: convert those 24bit color Bitmaps (I made with the Kodak Imaging program)
using Zoner Viewer 3 available for free with ZonerDraw 3
(an image editing program) from www.zoner.com/draw3/overview.asp (http://www.zoner.com/draw3/overview.asp)
If you check this program out and decide to use my method post
here again and I'll be happy to post a step by step way to
convert your Screenies.
Your screenies will go from 1024x768 3MB monster bitmaps that can't be posted; to less than 65kb jpg's (that are still 1024x768)
that CAN be posted... like this one:
