It keeps telling me my pics are to large...so how do I make them smaller?

 

You can resize them with Windows Paint. Just double click the image on your computer then click on the next to last icon below the image (which should be Windows Paint) and when it opens click on the Image tab at the top left and select Stretch/Skew and change it's size. The file type makes a difference as well, make sure it isn't a bitmap (bmp) as they are the largest picture file type so make sure they are JPegs (jpg).

 

lets try one...

 

yeah, it looks like it worked

Will start a new thread for them!!!

Thanks!!

 

There is also a free program called Infranview that I use. It's easy and you can do some cool stuff with it.

 

I use Photoshop 6.0 (one of the best) and Microsoft Picture It... When paint resizes, it lowers quality.

 

Need help resizing your pictures to make them fit? Here's a quick, easy way if you dont have any photo resizing programs....you can also PM me on the forum...

1) Go to www.resize2mail.com
2) Select option below (25% smaller 75%smaller etc..)
3) Click chose, and chose the correct image
4) Click ok
5) Right click on image after it is loaded and save as (desktop)

 

i use irfan too which you can download from here.

i also use photoshop 7.0

 

There is a much easier way, if that is what you are looking for.

There is a "powertoy" from microsoft called "Image Resizer" It will add a command to your Right mouse click, when you right click on a picture. Typically it is the 4th one from the top of the menu. It will allow you to pick from 3 preset sizes OR enter your own prefered size. This is a snap to use and best of all it's FREE.

Here is the link, it's directly to Microsofts website. It's under downloads on the right hand side of the page, 11th one down, called "Image Resizer" Hope you enjoy!

If you have a spare 30-50 bucks you could just by photo editing software as well. You then can have fun with your pics rather than just resize.
