help needed in resizing pictures

15 years ago

I am writing a brief update for a Christmas note and want to put a variety of pictures. I have them in a folder, but need to shrink them for the letter. Any help would be appreciated.

I use "IrfanView". (Free download and recommended at some point by PC Mag, etc.)

I like to rename the pics that I shrink so that can retain the original file. I "save as", then arrow key (to "unhighlight" the filename), and insert "sm" to it, which means "small" to me. Just a thought.

Photobucket will do it. On the upload page there is an OPTIONS that if you click on it gives you several different sizes. avatar ( 100 x 75 ) thumbnail ( 160 x 120 ) website, email ( 320 x 240 ) message board ( 640 x 480 ) 15" screen ( 800 x 600 ) 17" screen ( 1024 x 768 ) 1 megabyte file size

Checking the HP website and its forum, it appears that others have had trouble using the software and Vista. There are fixes for that but are lengthy. HP also offers free software, HP Photosmart Essential 3.5, which probably does more than just crop and resize. But as others here have suggested, there is an abundance of other free stuff that will do most anything.

Go to your pictures (graphics or signatures) in your computer, Right click onto a picture, a box will open, left click "Edit", A big box will open with your picture showing, In the top bar, click "Image", Then click "Stretch", Another box will open and you can change the sizes there. I only change the top two sizes. And I am using 50 in both (There are two more, but I leave them alone). This cuts the photo by half. Just keep playing around with the size till you get what you want, Then click "OK", The new size will now appear, Click "Files" in the top left hand side, Click "Save as", You now have a new small size picture. You can delete the larger size if you wish.

The picture looks quite small to me as well...too small to see anything very well. Janefan...what settings/screen resolution have you set for your monitor? If you don't know and you have Windows: Right click on your screen outside of any application A menu pops up Select "Properties" (bottom of the menu) The "Display Properties" screen appears Click the "Settings" tab You will see several settings....what does it say under "Screen Resolution"? If it's "800 by x600 pixels" or around that size, then it probably does look big to you. Mine is set at 1400 by 1050 so things will look smaller to me. That may be the reason the pictures seem very large to you! The larger # of pixels allows me to see more on the screen.

Are you "typing" up a letter to print out? Or is this an email type of letter?

If you are using Word, or something similar to make a letter that you are printing, - insert the picture, then click on it so the little boxes show up around it. Then put your mouse over a corner - click & drag your picture in to resize it as you desire. Make sure you drag only a corner.

I also use Ifranview and I also use the "sm" to remember that I have the original photo also.
