Hi All,
A lot of you wonder how to change the size of your pictures to place
them on these forums. I have been posting the easiest way to do picture
resizing on some of the forums. I guess I need to start a message in
each of the forums and tell this story.
The easiest way to resize pictures for posting is this.
Go to:
http://www.irfanview.com/
Download and install the software. I also download the Add Ons/Plug-ins
also. This program is FREE and it is exceptional. I have been using
it for YEARS...
After installation, browse to your pictures and open them in IrfanView.
Go up to 'File' and then down to 'Save'. SAVE the picture as [your file
name]a or b or c or whatever. This will make a copy of your original
picture. This is so that you don't loose your original. OOPS, I have
done that before.
Now go up up to the top bar and choose, 'Image'
Go down to 'Resize/Resample'
In the next window, you can play around and do what ever you want to
your pic and a lot of the time I use ' Half ' on the right side of the
window.
Make sure that the box for [] Preserve aspect ratio (proprotional) is checked. It is on the lower left side.
This is the easiest that you can change the size of a picture that I know. This program is worth its weight for sure!!
Now just choose the ' Insert Image ' Icon on the top of a ' Create New
Message '. Go down to the bottom of the next window and choose the '
Browse...' button. This will take you to your Computer and you just
need to find where you have the 'new' picture saved and just click on it
and choose 'open' and then click on the 'upload' button to upload it
into the message and to the site. Then click 'OK'.
Thats all there is to it!! After a couple of times, you will be a pro at it too...
