Guest guest Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 girls, go download irfanview. www.irfanview.com it is freeware. That means it's free. install the program and the plugins from the download sites. tell it to associate .jpg, .bmp, and all the other picture type files. Then open your picture you want to shrink. Irfanview should open it. In the menu bar you will see " Image " . Click on that, then you will see " resize/resample " , click that. It opens a box with a half a million different ways to resize. Depending on the original size of your picture, decide how small you want it. 100-300kb is more than enough for us to see properly. 640x480 works too, but it still can leave the picture too large to insert more than a couple in one email to yahoo group. So after you resize it, save it. you can use the file menu to save as, or simply push the *S* on your keyboard. Make sure the file is going into the folder you wish it to go in, that the file type is .jpg and the slider is at 100%. Then rename or whatever, and save the file. You can then check the size of the file to find out if it's small enough. If not, open it and resize a little more (use the percentages option - such as reduce by 40% or 20%, etc.). Seriously, you don't need an expensive program to do this, and this one comes with no catches like 30 day free trial or anything like that. It's really, and truly, forever... free to you to use as you wish. hope that helps! Kori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
