    matt, in corel draw just “export” the image as a jpeg … you are probably exporting or saving the image as another format which keeps the file size too large? All files need to be 400kb or smaller so jpeg is ideal.

    Open your original image in coral, save as or export as a jpg you will then get a window with a slider to enable you to compress the image, click the preview button and moe the slider so that the size is less than 400.000. save it and then post. If you right click on the saved file and select properties, it will give size info.
