Carol is correct about reduced photos and their quality but I don't necessarily agree with saving to CDs. I save my photos and any other important files to a memory stick. This way I can add or delete photos individually which cannot be done with most CDs. You can also put many many more photos on a single stick than you could ever put on any single CD. Also you can carry these memory sticks in a purse or pocket. They plug into any USB port on ANY computer. If you want to carry the photos to a freinds house all they would need is a computer with a USB port.

You could probably get 6 or 8 sticks in a watch pocket of you jeans.

Also, You can still save your converted photo in the same file as your original using the same name. One would be a XXXX.BMP and the other XXXX.JPEG.
If you convert a JEPG to a smaller version you can still save it to the same file by simply changing the converted name to XXXXCONV.JPEG
