Judy, I'm not that famliar (as you know) with internet tech stuff...but if
it is space that you're concerned about putting the pictures on line, could
you put them on line in a self extracting zip file?
That way, they would only be expanded if they were "called up".

Pictures usually take a LOT less space when zipped....

Just a thought...
