First of all, it's true we all have the same vehicle, but PLEASE don't let that stop you from posting your pics. I love seeing other people's MOs.

As for re-sizing, did your camera come with software for touching up your photos? I thought that most cameras did. If so, just click on HELP and type in resizing in the search field.

If you're still having problems, you could e-mail them to me and I'll take care of it for you.

Good luck and can't wait to see your pics.

You can download a freeware program called IrfanView 3.8 from download.com for Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP here. It supports many image file types, can resize and can adjust compression ratio when saving as a .jpg.

if you want quality never compress pictures! It is better to get a new bigger hard drive. They are pretty chip these days.

Yes, especially for printing, take pictures in tiff if you can. But if you want to attach them to a post here, compress them as jpg to no larger than 102,400 bytes. Posting pictures here is easy and encouraged, a picture is worth a thousand words.

I love seeing others pictures.... something to share.

If you have Microsoft office they have tools to edit pictures. If you do which version of Office do you have?

Default Try Picasa

I suggest trying Picasa from Google. It's Free, fast and it does not mess with the originals images.
Just export after you resized/crop/rotate/brightness/contrast/... images, then add them to the tread....

PowerToys for windows is a free easy picture resizer from Microsoft.

Simply right click on the picture and select large, medium or small.

Creates a new resized file, Does not affect the original picture.
Quality is the best I've seen for a resizer.

If you want to resize photos only go with jahjr suggestion. It works quite OK. However, if you are looking for photo editing software - there are not too many to choose from. I mean real photo editing software......

The thing I liked about RESIZER is that there is no "program" to install.

It's web based. No specific OS required.

Original photo remains unscathed.
