how do I resize a picture?
That's a good question and one that gets asked a lot. If you are using a normal PC (not a Macintosh) and it has Windows on it, do this....
1) Click "Start" in the bottom left
2) Go to "Programs" and then "Accessories" and click on the "Paint" program.
3) Once in the paint program, under the "File" menu select "open" and choose the image you want to resize. You may have to change the directory to the location the file is stored.
4) Once the file is opened in Paint, click on the "Image" menu and select "Stretch/Skew (Ctl+W)"
5) Change the horizontal and vertical percentages to something less than 100 to shrink and over 100 to enlarge. For example, an image that is 1280 x 960 pixles scaled to 50% would make the image 640 x 480 pixels.
voila ;)
How to RESIZE Pictures So you don't......
.....piss off people using Dial-Up!!! :eek:
:LOL!: :LOL!: :LOL!:
Besides, it' just good common Internet courtesy to use the smallest workable pics possible! :bigthum:
Also, it's good to resize pics BEFORE Emailing them around to your friends, family and fellow Stangers! Try to keep your Email pics UNDER 100kb (kilobytes)
Here's a small MicroSoft App that you can Download from my Webspace to help you out.

After you Download the Application, Install it and then go to use it, there will be a NEW Command when you "RIGHT CLICK" and Picture (.jpg, gif, jpeg). It will simply say RESIZE.
- From your a Folder in your hard drive....Find a Pic you wish to resize
- Right Click. Then chose the new Command.....RESIZE and pick the size you want your current large picture to be.
Wa-La! Your new Resized pic is Automatically resized and placed in the same folder as your old pic.
Enjoy!
