It's better to let the camera SHOOT at High Resolution; then either use a PhotoShop type
program to reduce (and store in a DIFFERENT file location) or let Windows send the
picture to your e-mail program as a "smaller" file.

On my old camera you could reduce the size and it had no bearing on the resolution. The resolution (quality) was a completely different setting. I don't know squat about the canon A560 but thought maybe it would be in the manual. I should have been more specific. My new camera the size and resolution are one and the same. This is why I always take pictures on the highest quality/size setting. If downsizing the pic would mean losing the quality then I would choose to resize on my own afterwards.
