Resize Photo File

[Arizona Hummerboy]

How do i go about Resizing the size of my photos, so I can post a pictures on the site?

I use picasa just because it was a free download. Go to picasa.com.

Once downloaded and install it should automatically import the pics on your computer but certainly will with new pics.

In picasa choose a pic you want to resize by double clicking it. Under the picture - click on "export". A box will pop up -there will be a slide scale for resizing. I usually put it in the middle. Seems to work good.

Finish export.

Now go to "My Pictures" you will find a "picasa export" file that holds your resized stuff.

Hope that helps.

p.s. if it doesn't automatically import all of your pics on install and you have something you want to move to picasa for resizing - there is an import button in the upper left corner.

Or...........the simple method. Just open you pic in MS Paint. Then choose menu: "Image>Sketch/Skew" and adust down the percentages for height and width. Save as a .jpg file.

I'm not very computer savy. I never have been able to figure out how to open my pics in paint. Can you briefly tell us how?

I did it by accident once and the thing I liked about it is being able to block out lic plate numbers - something you can't do with picasa, atleast that I've ever figured out.

One nice thing about picasa is you can adjust color, brightness etc. You can make an Ok pic look really nice.

Launch Paint, then chose File>Open.....and navigate to your file.

Or, view your file in windows explorer, then right click on it and chose: "Open with>Paint".
