monsterbucks1 Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 If anybody can help, what is a good website that is free to resize photos. Thanks Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallmunster Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Microsoft paint will resize, it is called stretch and skew with paint. A quick google search found http://www.bigwebpages.com/big/resize.html that might work for you as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 You have a program called "PAINT" on your computer already. RESIZING Pictures Download your picture from your camera to your computer and save them in a folder, where you know where they are. Best place is in "My Documents", and inside the "My Pictures" folder. Go to your picture folder on your PC where the picture/pictures are stored. Right click on the picture, then (left click) on Open with "Paint" Then, up top in the toolbar: 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 then "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% or 30%. ................ 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"... then 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. When naming pictures, don't leave spaces between words or numbers. example: mooseNov2006 It's that easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Yup! MS Paint is all I use. With my older 5MP camera I found 30-40% stretch/skew. Now with my 12MP I use 20%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSGB Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 I use PIXresizer - it's free and easy and you won't have as much loss of quality as with Paint. http://bluefive.pair.com/pixresizer.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Use microsoft office picture manager here. If you have office suite on your computer would suggest using it rather than the paint program, as paint will sacrifice some pic quality. There are some free resizing tools on the web. Have never used it myself, but have heard this is a good one http://picasa.google.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
