D-Sub Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 http://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/Install/2/WXP/EN-US/ImageResizerPowertoySetup.exe there are others. google is your friend. but that one is the simplest Ive found Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy T. Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 I just recently found an easy way using standard micsosoft office software that I would assume comes with most computers. 1. right click on your .jpg, select properties and where it says 'opens with' change it to Microsoft Office Picture Manager. 2. open the file and from the 'Picture' drop down menu select 'Compress Pictures'. Under the 'Compress for' options select 'Web pages' That's it, your file will be the correct size to post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raisputin Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 Adobe Photoshop (Win/Mac) JpegView (Mac) iPhoto (Mac) If you can get your hands on photoshop, that would be my preference as it is ultimately powerful and you can even batch resize if you have a ton of pics to resize Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Dold Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 Criminy, a guy who is just now learning how to re-size a picture is the last person I'd recommend Photoshop to! I use it frequently, but for simple re-sizing I just use MS Photo Editor. Not that there is anything wrong with Photoshop, it's the best software ever in my opinion, well worth the money. In fact, it's a bargain. And I'm not just saying that because one of the authors is a regular on this forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Sub Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 like I said, assuming youre on windows, that PowerToys resizer is by far the simplest available. install it, and simply right click on your photo, then "resize" 600X800 is the max size allowable here using the manage attachments tab down below the reply window.

Hee hee, I have been using it for so long I have forgotten how steep the learning curve is for newbies to it....but yes, it is IMO as well, the best program ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
