How do you make a pic smaller to be upload to the forum? Does anyone know it just always comes up image don't meet requirements

And for the life of me I can't figure this out. I tried making pics on Paint Jac and I still can't shrink them. I need a shrinky dink machine

I use the Edit picture function in Microsoft pictures.....it allows me to save it in a smaller format, or crop it down and save it.

ok thanks!! I will try it tonight.

I just go to the paint program on my computer. I assume it comes with them all, every computer i've ever seen has had it...LOL.
If you go to "image", and then "stretch and skew", it gives you 2 boxes entitled "horizontal", "vertical". The setting will be at 100%/100%. If you just enter a smaller number (I usually use 30% cause my pics are HUGE), but make sure you enter the same number for both, or the pic will be distorted. If you get it too big or too small, just click "undo" and try a different number. If you save it small and then try to enlarge it again later, the quality is usually diminished, so if it's a pic you like and want to keep a big copy of it, save the new one under another name.
Might sound complicated, but it really is simple

LOL I am printing this out and trying every one tonight.

Thanks!

If you haven't already figured out a way to resize them, I have a really simple program (Free) that you can use too. I can't figure out how to get the pictures to upload smaller onto my computer. They always come out so huge! But the program I have works really well and it's very simple.

gsp4619 · 05-19-2006, 11:17 AM

Thanks Icy what you have??

sssssh I tried every example lastnight and to no avail and I am going to give it a go again tonight. I feel like the most unknowledgeable nitwit hahahahahahahha

. Plus I am the worst with instructions, you should see me in work my boss will run off a couple of things at me and I will say ok please one minute I need to write this all down.

At home lastnight I have the instructions from here printed out and I am working it so I thought and it said system failed.

But don't worry I will die trying getting this right. Ava will be about 8 when you all get to see her

. I have no trouble with attachments & crap like that it's just shrinking things

If you go to a search engine like Google, or Yahoo, type in
"Free Picture resizer". On google, it's about the 4th link down. Click on that and it will take you to the page where you can download it.

If it would be easier, I can PM you with the link.
