download picasa from google.....Its a program used often for resizing, importing, and exporting pictures. Open whatever picture you want and then export it to another folder on your computer. When exporting it will ask you what size to use. I use 700 pixels as a good rule of thumb. If you have any other questions feel free to PM me.

Your windows edit program works really well if you are willing to learn it.
The solution may be as easy as learning how to email yourself a picture.
Let the program shrink it down to about 40 to 60 KBs this is also the perfect size for posting.
You don't have to do anything except click the dots in the wizzard.

I am guilty of the same thing and i post on treasure depot too, but they refuse any pic over 200m.so like above i start an email to whoever..add picture then view it after i have selected a lower pic resolution then save it in a folder to then pic up and post ...

There are two simple solutions.

1. Adjust the camera setting. You generally can choose to shoot at the maximum resolution of the camera, or select a smaller setting. For example, if you have an 8MP camera, you can often set it to shoot at
4MP, so the pictures are smaller.

2. Reduce the size in some photo-editing program once you've uploaded them to the
computer. This is the technique I use.
I upload the photos, then crop and reduce the size to something more suitable
for posting on line (usually down to about 1 MP size).
While editing, you can fix the colors and contrast etc. too.

A bit late, but I might as well chime in.

I always use Imageshack, in lack of any fancy program. Not perfect, but gets the basic job done quickly and easily.

Linux since 1999. We have so many options. I use Convert/mogrify. Open a terminal in the folder, and type:

mogrify -resize 50% Anyphoto.jpg and it reduces it to 1/4 size. If you want it 1/10, use 31%, etc. One need not even open the file.

Change mogrify to convert if you want the original file intact, and the smaller one under a new name.

I also have Gwenview and Gimp, which is a full-fledged editor. but, for simple resize, a command line does great. Plus you can do a whole folder full in one command, though the bigger ones will be bigger in the end.

Old thread but may be of help to some.

This is how I do it - Its quick once you do a couple and requires no downloads for most computers.
_________________________________________________ _______________

-Open the program "Paint".

-Then click "File" and then "Open". This will bring up the folders/files on your computer.

-Select the file you wish to work with.

-With the file/image open, click on "Image". This will open a drop down menu.

-From the drop down menu, click "Stretch/Skew". This will open another box.

-In this box you will see "Stretch" with options for "Horizontal" and "Vertical". The %'s for these will be at 100.

-Change the value from 100 to your new percentage (either shrinking or enlarging, though enlarging will cause some loss of quality) and click OK.

-Your picture will be re-sized. Save the newly sized photo as a new file so as to retain your original.
