ok.. download this - http://www.freedrive.co.uk/PhotoResize600.exe

The above app works by dropping a image onto its icon. SO.. try this.

1. put the PhotoResize600.exe app on your desktop
2. copy the image you want to resize onto your desktop
3. drag the image over the PhotoResize600.exe icon and drop it onto the PhotoResize600.exe icon. (a dos box opens, just click enter to close it)
4. it will now of created a new image with -600 at the end on your desktop that will be about 25kb which is fine for uploading here as an attachment.

You can just drag and drop any image onto the icon from any place, but just work from your desktop to start with.

PS.. if you change the apps name from PhotoResize600.exe to PhotoResize1200.exe the picture then resize to 1200 pixels wide rather than 600 pixels wide :-)

Easy picture resize
« Reply #11 on: April 24, 2011, 08:11:39 AM »
Am surprised no one can resize pictures.
Windows 3.1, 4, 5, 6 and XP come with paint program.

XP - in accessories is mspaint.exe
Just "run" mspaint,  load picture, select pic, and select stretch. Default is 100
%.  Just change % to 50 an 50 x+y axis, or whatever reduction is required, and job done.

Win 3.1 to 5 was paint.exe.

I use Paint shop pro 3.12  32 bit ( free one ) and works on most computers.

if you have not got "paint" on your computer, load CD instalation disk and "add" extras.

Also remember that not everyone has a 3 mile wide screen. Mine is 14 inch at 800 x 600 resolution, but you can always do 2 photos. one at 800 x 600, and one at silly resolutons of 1600 / 2000 pixels.
Why have i not got a wide screen ?  - because the text and pictures show smaller, the higher resolution you go, and web pages now use the extra space on the right for adverts, - which i dont want to see and am not interested in.
( I decide what I want to look at to buy, -- and not a web site )

A4  portrait  paper is 210 x 297 mm ( 8.2 inch x 11.6 inch )
A4 Landscape  paper is 297 x 210 mm ( 11.6 inch x 8.2 inch )

Portrait  photos on A4 = 787 pixels x 1113 pixels
Landscape photos on A4 = 1113 pixels x 787 pixels
So having photos any larger than this if you print a lot, seems pointless, but a larger picture fits on larger screens.

open the picture with microsoft office picture manager. if u have office on your computer, then you should have this software. look for edit pictures and click. on the right, you will see resize pitures. you can continue from there. hope it helps

Yes the quality and the size is high. That’s the problem. In your machine you can resize the picture and upload.
