This was so long ago that I can't remember just how long it's been, but reducing image sizes (number of kb's or mb's) for various reasons used to drive me crazy.
My solution - and I know there must be many others - is to use Irfanview (free) as my image editor. There is a "plug-in" designed for it called "RIOT". First you install Irfanview, which most people should do anyway since it's such a great image viewer, and then find the RIOT plug in and select it. The plug-in (RIOT) becomes an intergral part of Irfanview from that point on so no extra steps are necessary to use it. Spend a few minutes downloading and installing Irfanview. I'm sure as part of the installation process there will be offered a list of plug-ins to choose from. Install the plug-in called RIOT, and you're done. You can set your image size from then on very easily. Sorry I'm not being more detailed but it's been so many years since I actually did this that I can't be more speciific without actually going through the process again myself. It's not complicated at all, I can remember. The limit on KRNET is 100 kb I believe - so all I would normally do is load the image I want to upload, set the kb size to 100 or less, save that image with a new name (so as not to compromise the original image which you probably want to keep in its original size), then attach it to your KRNET submission. ****************** Another option, especially if you want to show photos in their original sizes or if you have a bunch of them you want to make available, open an account with one of the photo hosting sites, upload the photos, get a link to that site and your particular place within it, and just include the link in your KRNET post. I use one called Onedrive - formerly called Skydrive. It's hosted by Microsoft, has no ads, and makes the whole process very step-by-step and easy. When it comes time to get your link to your new photosite, you might take that link to Google's "URL Shortener". Juno used to break my links - put a space in them that made them unclickable - so whenever I have a link that's anything but very short, I use Google's URL shortner to shorten them and then post that link in my submissions. So no more broken links by Juno. Google's "URL shortener" has proven very handy. Hope some of this is helpful.
