How Do I Resize Massive Pictures?
« on: April 26, 2004, 07:26:00 PM »
.. because no one likes looking at 2400x1600 pictures from a nice digital camera on an 800x600 screen!

5-Step MS Paint Resizing Procedure:

1. Find a file

2. Right Click > Open With > Paint

3. In MS Paint: Image > Stretch/Skew (or CTRL-W as a keyboard shortcut)
(IMG:http://www.brahm2.com/xs/resize/3.jpg)

4. Stretch the image down to a reasonable size. Enter 50% for both values to start off, and see how it looks.

5. What was once a huge image is now slightly less huge! Use File > Save As to save, so you don't overwrite the original large file, then upload it and post it!

I use the photo resizer in Micorsoft Word and Internet Explorer. I post photos on-line to my Yahoo Gurop (one for my famiily, and an 2nd one for fans of Taiis form the Sonic Games (zahs1.tirpod.com/tailspower)). The Yahoo Gurop is right now only Message posts my users, and I modareat it.
