Pixels are what counts , resize the image to 600 pixels across
If it does ask for DPI , type in a no like 100 or so – makes no real diff what it is
DPI doesnt really count much , its merely how big it will display on a screen IE if the monitor can do 72 dpi , and the file is 720 pixels , there will be 72 pixels per inch of screen and the file will appear 10 inches on screen.
To get the uncompressed file size you take x pixels times y pixels times 3
so a 600 x 400 pixel file will be 600x400x3 (if its RGB)
IE 720k , BUT saving it as a jpeg will reduce it SUBSTANTIALLY
Another decent freeware proggie is Irfanview

If you using windows XP you can download the powertoy Image Resizer
from the Microsoft website, when installed you can resize by right clicking on the file, dead simply and effective! -
