Picture resizing

[logyk]

Someone kindly told me of a utility I could use with XP to do this easily. Just had to reconfigure my puter and the da*n thing has disappeared.

Can anyone help please ?

At it's simplest, just go to 'my pictures' on the start menu, then double click your piccy. Should start up "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer". Second icon from the right there's an edit icon that launches MS Paint. Go to the 'Image' menu in MS Paint and you can look at attributes to see how many pixels the image is sized at, then you can go to stretch and skew to adjust the size by percentage. You can then 'save as' a jpg file and Roberts your mothers brother.

Not very sophisticated but it works and it's all part of the XP package

Paint shop pro is a great image software package IMHO, very simple to use and lots of handy features.

Frank. That program is fantastic. Did a full scan to start and they are right, found pictures I had forgotten were on my computer. Very Good.

No probs, very impressed with Google these days.

I cant claim to have spotted it really - it was on a PC Mag DVD.

Worthy of a separte post me thinks....
