Tran Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 In XP you can open Paint. Open Image. Go to Strech and skew. There is two small windows, Horizontal and vertical. Both indicate 100%, change 100% to 25%. Then save as JPG. If that is small enough you can go back and make the use 75% or whatever in both windows. That should do it.

teenylittlemetalguy Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 There is one in Picasa when you export. Also here is a free one I have used for years. http://adionsoft.net/fastimageresize/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pault17 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I use this one a lot. http://www.faststone.org/FSResizerDetail.htm I do home and commercial inspection for a living and have taken just under 50,000 work related pictures in the last 7 years. I take 'em big for me to view, and shrink 'em small for sending to report writers and clients. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Yates Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 with Windows 7 all you need to do is right click on the pic you will see Edit #2 on the list it opens it up in paint #2 box at the header shows "Re-size" you can do 50 % or 75% and (save it ) you know the photo is the correct size when in paint it is only about a 4x5 it should load here .

Frosty Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I'm going to check out some of these programs and see if one isn't easier to use than what I do now. I'm running XP and just right click and do a "Save As", it lets you pick the file size, I give it a new name and put it in a different folder for convenience. It's simple enough but takes a couple steps. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
