Just spoken to Jessops who say the only way to do it quicker is to use less MP's, say only 3 or 4, to reduce the file size or to try re-sampling the file in paintshop pro at a smaller size. Apparently, at 7 MP the files are going to take ages as, even though they say around 2.4 Mb, when you open them they become bigger (he says) and so they need to be massively reduced in file size.

I'm so cross as there's no way around this apparently. He said if I can't do it, I can take the disc in and he'll show me how to re-sample. So cross. 😞
