Need a pic resizing program
« on: September 09, 2004, 01:32:35 PM »
Anyone have a good freebie pic resizing program? Often the pics I want to send out are too large, and I find going in and outta 'Picture it' too long, and 'Photoshop'..well I've had thet program for a year and don't understand the simplist of tasks, I don't speak their lingo...(what is that Geek Greek?).

Thanks in advance.

If you have photoshop it is very easy.  Click on Image, then Image Size.  Change the width to say 800 and the height will automatically change in proportion, to around 600 in a landscape picture, then click OK.  You can then do a Save as and save it in a format such as jpg to reduce the size even more.  If you save it as a jpg, you will then get a chance to choose the quality - I normally use High (8), but it can be less.  I usually then leave the other options as default and click OK.  Hope that helps.  :)

Or use stretch and skew in paint
