RE: Pictures
There are several good ways. Each takes its own bite out of the picture quality. I use the Image Resizer found in the right hand column of this link http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...powertoys.mspx
Click on Image resizer and click on run then agree to the terms and hit run again and it will self install in about 40seconds. Once its installed go to "My Pictures" and right click on any photo. Look towards the top after right clicking and left click on the RESIZE PICTURES option. This brings up different sizes to choose from like 640x480 and 800x600 etc. Just choose one and it resizes the image but leaves the original alone and creates a copy at a smaller size but does it in a manner that does not destroy the pixels so the image still looks good but is a fraction of the size in inches and in KB's. I use this for my web site and emailingbecause you can select all or several at once and resize as many as you want in one shot. For custom sizes just pick custom and manually type in a size such as 500x300 for a signature picture etc.
Sounds like alot of work but its not.

RE: Pictures
I use Photobucket. They host the picture and then you can re-size them. As long as they are in business I'll never loose my photo's either!

RE: Pictures
i just use the stupid windows paint program, its easiest it seems, to me anyway, maybe just cuz i am used to it.
find your image file and RIGHT click on it.
on the menu select "OPEN WITH".....then select "PAINT"
the image will open up in windows paint (it may be gigantic if you take high resolution pics)
at the top of the screen on the left select "IMAGE" (drop down menu)
then select "STRETCH/SKEW"
the horizontal and vertical fields will automatically say 100%....change them to 30 or 50 or whatever and it will shrink it down. IF IT DOESNT MAKE IT SMALL ENOUGH GO TO "EDIT" AND "UNDO" first to get it back to original size then repaet the first steps and try a smaller number in the feilds
when you done click "FILE" and "SAVE AS.." to save it without replacing the original pic.
if you resize them first it will cut down on your upload time, if you are using a image hosting site
hope it helps
