Well, MS Paint doesn't let you have that much control. I've been using MS 
Picture It to reduce figures to "web-ready," which I think means 72 dpi, but

I haven't checked Help to confirm that.

Is there a free or inexpensive product that both shots figures and lets you 
reduce them to 72 dpi or 40 to 50 k?
