You have to either shrink the size of them using "Resize" or "Resample" in an image program or you could can also just open them and resave with a different JPG compression.

If your light pictures are the same size as the dark ones you uploaded into the Gallery, I'm not sure why they would be over 200KB. If you email me one of them, I could look at it for you.

Try downloading irfanview.
It is a free graphic viewing and editing program.

I usually resize to 800 by 600 pixels, and save the file under a new name, to preserve the original. You can also darken or lighten the pictures. For files this size, the average file size is usually around 80kB.
