Easiest way to re-size photos

radgator1 · 12-28-2006, 05:13 PM

I have some pics of my e90 335i that I want to upload but when I try it seems the pics are too big and when I tried the editing tools on my photo software (adobe album starter or something like that) I couldn't find a re-size. I also have windows media addition so have whatever photo software that came with that. Okay, I know, I suck at this but can anyone help me out?

Thanks

theres a small app from MS thats called image resizer, very small but does the job quickly and easily.
its part of the power toys thing.

MS Photoeditor can resize the pics, but you'll loose a lot of quality.

In Adobe Photoshop you can resize under the pulldown-menus: Image>Image Size
The same for Adobe Imageready

and photoshop you lose very little quality, i hate it when i see crappy resized pictures that get pixelated (even though there downsized) or worse the pictures that are resized out of proportion

open them up in PAINT and go to IMAGE --> stretch/skew or just simply press CTRL W. THen you can resize them as a percentage of the original.

Don't have the program anymore, but this program will do the job nicely, and it's a lot faster for a quick resizing.

What about Google's Picasa? It's free and it does a great job of fixing up pics.

If I have a bunch of pictures I want to resize, I highlight them, click send to --> mail recipient. It then asks whether to keep them original size or you can pick from three sizes. Then when the outlook window pops up, I copy the pictures, paste them wherever I want them. Bam. Done. Takes a few seconds that's it..
