Reduction of Photo Size, in order to post ...

Is there a simple way to do it, without any additional software requirement, or not?

No. My Nikon D810 shoots 7360 x 4919, images I export for the web are 3000 x 1690. How else can you get reduction like that without completely compromising quality and not using software.

All I know is that if I want to post a hi res from the computer, 64mp is a no no. Way too big. So I just copy a smaller size from my Flickr stream, but the quality suffers unfortunately

Smaller sizes are under the download icon, at least on my (Pro) Flickr account.

Ah, okay, Richard ... so you, at least - are covered, on that score ....
But for those without Pro Flickr accounts ... I wonder if there's a simple method ....

Chris, most software programs will allow you to change the size of your pictures, but they will automatically increase the dpi as you get smaller. Just adjust to a smaller size (if you wish), but, most importantly, decrease the dpi so that it is below 3000/the length of the longest side of the image in inches, e.g., for an 8 X 10 image, 3000/10 = 300dpi. I suggest that for posting purposes, you keep the actual to <100dpi, unless you are adamant about the sharpness of your posted picture. If so, as in the example presented, use 200-300dpi.

BHC ... thanks, but I'm really naïve when it comes to this sort of thing.
I have very little experience with editing software, and have no idea how to reduce a 12MB image to 410K ....
Someone had suggested I do that, in order to be able to post it, here ... but, quite frankly ... I am lost !!!!

It views and downloads ok, however it is an 8MB file.
It is a screen shot from Flickr.

Sorry, it is a screenshot. I'll post a link in a minute to the actual page. Just remember that if you want to download the "original" size, it is 64mp.

I used to be on dial up back in the 90's (56k) so I know what it was like.
