Most file sizes in the Gallery seem to be under 100kb where as mine are up to 200kb,how can I reduce my file size?I use Adobe Photoshop 5.0 L.E.

Geoff, has photoshop LE got a 'save for web' option? this will allow you to control the compression(quality) of the JPG which will effect the file size .

That's a cracking shot of the Shrike in the gallery!:t:

Otherwise go into Image size and reduce it manually! Then save as a gif or jpeg!

I use PS 6, which has the 'save for web' option, but I don't know about the LE version.
I also use Paint Shop Pro, which is being given away free this month on many computer magazine discs. It has a jpeg 'optimise' option that is dead easy to use.

resize the image (640x480 maybe 800x600) then when saving (save as another name or to a different folder to the original) you should see a jpeg options dialogue box.... try saving at 5, 6 or 7 and look to see what size the new saved file is. Some images need more jpeg compression than others, obviously 800x600's need more compression.

Before you resize the image to 640x480 or similar, make sure that the pixels/inch is set at 72.
