There's several online. Make sure you uncheck anything that refers to retain ratio.

Almost any graphic editor will do it too.

Many (most) photo software packages offer the ability to resize. What photo processing package to you have? I use the package that came with my camera, it resizes.

i downloaded irfanview and all plugins. i resized a jpeg and it did it but it uses paintbrush or paint and saves the resized image as a bmp extention not a jpeg. when i tried to upload the resized file it was refused because the file is not valid.... ie not jpeg. :( :( so now i am wondering if i should uninstall this product as it is not doing what i want. IMPORTANT question - when i installed irfanview a window appeared asking about associations. i did not know what to do as all associations were NOT checked and i figured it made sense to use these associations so it knows how to open files with different extentions. so i clicked on select all. the next window then asked, and this is the issue, "You want to change current associations and to associate one or many file types with IrfanView! Are you REALLY sure?" that is an exact quote i did not add ! or caps. so i worried about the current wording and when it capitalized really, well i said no. it accepted that. so i assume i ended up with the same thing as if i did not check select all and left all boxes unchecked. should i have gone with select all and replied yes? i was afraid this might cause conflicts with other programs and their functions. not sure what to do. any suggestions? remember win 98 se did all this in mozilla browser. thanks, tom

My version of PE is 2.0, an older version so it may have changed. But this is what I do. 1 open picture in PE (look at the title bar of the picture and it will tell you what % of full size image is currently displayed) 2 click on "image" on the menu 3 click on "resize" on the submenu that opens 4 click on "image size" in the dialog box that opens, click into where it says pixels and change it to percent, then click into the box to the left of percent and change - I ususally use 15-17 percent. Then click "OK" The image then becomes quite small on your screen. Go to "View" on the menu and click on "View Actual Pixels". This will show you the picture in its actual size. Also when saving your file, be sure to do a "Save As" and change the name of the file so that you do not write over the original high quality picture. (I usually just add the word SMALL to the file name) After changing the name of the file and clicking OK, another dialog box will appear. I usually change to a quality to 4 in this dialog box, this will keep the physical size of the file quite small for posting. Hope this helps. If you have further questions, I will try to help. Marylu

When I posted my TG pictures I thought the same. It just looked like the pictures in the thread were still big, after resizeing. But, when I went back to the post the following day, the pictures were smaller. Somehow, it has something to do with your cache or something. Moni

I just have Kodak EasyShare software. I have looked in 'help' for resizing, but it only does things in general terms. I didn't find what I was looking for. It could be that I am not sure what I am looking for.

I do have a Photosmart program that I can install, if needed.

Thanks

I have used a great little utility for years called Irfanview to do all sorts of photo editing including resizing. It's free and very easy to d/l and install. If you do try it be sure to also d/l the plugins.

I downloaded a tool named, Power Toys for Windows XP (don't remember who linked me to it). It has a resizer tool which is so easy. You right-click on the photo and it askes if you want small, medium or large. That's it, so easy and quick.

I could never figure out the others mentioned. I'm sure if you Google it you'll find this. There's a bunch of other tools, but I didn't understand what they did. But this one is the greatest.

I just thought I would let y'all know I got it done, and accomplished a lot along the way too!

My computer crashed about 6 weeks ago, and in getting it restored, I lost everything in it. I mean EVERYTHING!

To resize my picture, I downloaded Picasa, and it FOUND all my pics! I wish it could find the rest of my stuff!

Anyway, thanks a lot. You really helped me.

I would really like to find a free download that will re-size my pics in inches. ie:4x7, 3x5 etc.
Pixels and ratios just get me all confused(no, it doesn't take much) LOL.
I mainly want to use it for e-mail attatchments or forum photo posting.
TIA

Resizing is always done in Pixels. Why not open the pic in Paint and go to Image...Stretch/Skew and reduce by percentage.

You won't get a bang-on 4x6 or 5x7 but it should suit your purposes.

And use "Save As" not "Save"..and change file name slightly.

The resize feature in Irfanview is truly a no brainer. It is so easy even I can use it. And for what it's worth I like using Picasa2 for various features also.
