Found this converter (BMP_2_JPG) that saves a lot of time converting pics for uploading. I found it at http://medlem.spray.se/converters/ and there are alot more free converters to fool around with. I found the best way to use this (BMP_2_JPG) converter is to unzip it to a "New Folder" and you have to drag and drop your BMP pics so, where ever you dragged them from that's where the JPG will be saved. It's a very simple process and it will saves mucho time from opening with paint or other paint-like programs and resaving. From my observation, it doesn't cut on quality AND it also reduces the size from the RCT3 "ScreenShot" BMP 2.25 mbs to JPG 32kbs.

For resizing photos I found a Paint program called PAINT.NET This will do the same as PaintBrush plus a whole lot more. Since I don't have the good stuff to make and edit great photos like what rct3x made for my sig, I found this to work great for converting and resizing photos. There is so much more that can be done with this program and I am still learning the ropes. If you check out the website you'll get a better idea of what it can do. I'm pretty sure you will need the .NET Framework, hence the name Paint.NET, in order to run the program.
