&quot;Too large&quot; might mean either<br />
<br />
a) The images are too big for the space allocated on the page and you're scaling them down in HTML. &nbsp;e.g, you're saving images at 800x600 resolution, but displaying them at 300x240. &nbsp;In that case 3/4 of the file is essentially wasted and it makes more sense to save the images at the desired resolution and dimensions.<br />
<br />
b) The images are being displayed at full size but the file size is considered excessively large, which could be due to too fine a JPEG quality factor, but might also be due to the file just plain being big.<br />
<br />
Which is the situation?

Yeah ok I understand what your saying. &nbsp;I mean wordpress acutally create a number of different sized images, but its that LARGEST one that you have to ensure is the correct size and not TOO BIG for the space its being used for
