Can anyone explain how to downsize a photo that is bigger than 90 X 90? Please be specific and simple. Internet For Dummies was written with me in mind.

My method is to send it to Madtown and beg, but I'm sure there's a more efficient way out there

Mailman,

What do you do when it's close to quiting time and you still got a half-full mailbag for route 25? Why, you find a dumpster in some back alley and unload some of it.

Same sort of deal with a photo. You just lob-off a bit, nobody will notice.

Mailman,
It is too painful to describe how to resize a photo. Just post a link to photo and let somebody else do it. I know, teach a man to fish, and all that jazz.....

Maybe you could get someone to help you in upsizing your avatar. 40 X44? :lol:

Joe,

That is an AWARD WINNING avatar.

Does anybody ever suggest trimming the Mona Lisa? Adding a few more lillies to a Monet? Show some respect.

You get "Irfanview"
It is a free, very easy to use program for basic imaging manipulation.

Here's a link to a very basic (but good) tutorial on how to use it and resize pics: Click Me (http://www.somewhere-in-time.net/tutorial/irfanview/)

Then after you're familiar w/irfanview, here's another link that will show you more of the things it is capable of doing: Click Me (http://www.iss.k12.nc.us/schools/media/irfanv.htm)


Orrrrr....as previously mentioned, just PM me the image and i'll resize it for you :D

second vote for Irfanview here. I've used it for years, and it's great.

Be nice to the programmer though - send him a few buck for a fabulous product.
