Open image in the Microsoft paint application that is on every microsoft os click start click accessories click paint open image click on "image" on menu Click on 'resize' Figure it out.
I use http://www.evjosoft.com/PhImageResizer.html for resizing. It can be used for single and for multiple picture resizing as well. Best Jurgen
All of the suggestions will work and they give you control BUT that isn't what I generally do. A quick and dirty solution is to: 1) select the images you want to resize smaller, I assume to post 2) right click the mouse and select send to > mail recipient 3) it asks if you want to keep the same size of make smaller, select make smaller 4) an email pops up with the smaller images attached, drag and drop to wherever you want them Pretty easy and produces good results.
Thanks. I love it and it does a good job. I have apps to do the whole resampling, resizing, etc. but it is overkill for this application.
Picasa by Google is great and free of course. It will find every picture on your computer, or just the folders you tell it to. Great user interface too. Find the photo or photos you want, highlight it/them and "Export to Folder" It will ask what size to export the pictures in. Great for doing multiple photos at a time. dave
Attached is a post I made soon after joining FChat. At that time 640 x 480 was it. Fuzzy pictures looked really bad then. Still do today and it is sad. http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=79162&highlight=Dino+Saga+051016 Now Rob gives us 800 x 800 with 293 Kb. Really nice and makes it even more worth while to post pictures that look GOOD. Virtually all reduction programs listed above give you fuzzy pictures. The reduction software averages pixels and quits. That averaging must be corrected by another piece of software that puts the "snap" back into the shot. Picasa does have a sharpen function but you cannot use it before the reduction. You must reduce the picture, sharpen it and save it. I use Picasa as a search engine but do the editing in the newest version of PhotoStudio. It is still worth the $79 to be able to quickly and easily post quality pictures for my weeekly Dino Saga letters in the 206/246 Forum. Have well over a thousand pictures in my FChat file and they have all gone through the editing/posting process. There is a Dino Saga Index that describes subject matter in each letter. Search it and you will see more photo related subjects. Hope this helps. John
This sounds like a great solution, but I'm missing something... What application do you use to select the image? I tried Window Explorer and right-clicking on the jpg file does not give me a "> mail recipient" option. Neither does my email client. Seems I'm the only one that can't figure this out!
