open each one up then:

image -> image size (make sure keep propotions is checked) -> make smaller from there

this will make the image smaller since the images are probaly like 8MPs big (5000 px width or something) you really dont need that kind of size for a web space

or make an action and record the movemets so it would do it automatically ;)

Or, a more simple way: File -> Save image for web ;)

All that posts and not one right one? :-X

Anyways, with photoshop, File -> Save for the web

Choose GIF or JPEG, your preferance, and then there should be a box labeled to "Quality" -- Lower the number and see how the "File Size" label under the image preview, it'll say how big it is, go down the quality till it's under 600KB.

A picture of 4 mb, isn't just about its quality!! it is for sure has a huge dimensions!

For my pictures with these sizes i just resize them with the image resizer, and i get an image of 100 kb and something (using 800X600 )

the reason that the dimensions are so huge are because of the quality  that the picture was taken at. the higher quality the more dpi when printed, and therefore the more pixels displayed on the screen. the other quality your thinking of is jpeg compression quality, between 1 and 100 (or 1 and 12 in photoshop)
