Photo help.

[Murt]

I have posted photos to threads before, now, for some unknown reason I get a message that its too big.
If I reduce the size in paint, it cuts off the left side of the photo..
Can someone advise of the proper way to reduce size of files for photos
( in normal, thick, basic, language)
Ta Murt.

Once you've saved your pic just right click on it and choose ' OPEN WITH' "Microsoft Photo Editor"........ you then have the option to edit the size.

choose pixels then just enter the size you want in the width & height boxes then save as.

I can email this to you. Won't let me post as it's an exe file!

If you don't have an editing application on your machine, try downloading PIXresizer from the web. Just Google it. It's dead simple and will handle multiple files at a time.

Thanks all. PIXresizer looks like the jobbie...

Wait a mo....... isn't the problem that it is a bitmap image (being a paint file) ??

That would make it a huge file if so? :dunno:

It needs saving as a jpeg and then the file size will be a fraction of....
