Re: Question about photobucket

It's best to resize them on your computer so you don't run out of storage space on these different picture hosting sites.

You have a program called "PAINT" on your computer already.

RESIZING Pictures

Go to your picture folder on your PC where the picture is stored.

Right click on the picture

(left click)Open with "Paint"

left Click on "Image"

left Click on "stretch/skew"

When the box comes up, change your height and width from 100% to 40 or 50% and left click on "OK".

Let's say you chose 50%, and the picture isn't quite small enough yet.

You need to first undo, what you just did by clicking on "EDIT" and then "UNDO"

Then you can go back to "STRETCH/SKEW" and try maybe 40%.

If your NOT interested in keeping the original format for future developing, go to "FILE" and just click on "Save".You can always rename the picture by right clicking on it in your files and left clicking on "rename"

.................

If you want to keep one picture of the original size for future developing and one of the downsized for the web, click "Save as"... re-name your picture and choose save as .jpg and designate which folder you want to save it in so you know where it is.

It's that easy

When you name your picture, don't leave any spaces. example: - MoosePic2005 or moose_pic_2005

Yep, I use paint to redo all my pics as well. I find 30% strech and skew works perfect for me.

I usually use paint to resize my photos too, but have noticed on some pics it will effect the quality of the pic.

A lot of printers or scanners come with simple software that allows you to tinker around with photos. Most of them if not all of them even will let you re-size your photos. With no loss of quality. Then you can use PhotoShop, but then you need a college degree in order to know how to use it! I have PhotoShop 7.0, its a tough program, trying to self teach! LOL!!!

Have several other programs, none are as easy to use as paint to resize though. Have some new software from kodak and adobe that came with my digital slr that I would like to use, but I really need to get a faster computer. Hopefully that will happen sometime towards the end of the summer.
