I save the ones I want to send in PhotoBucket and just resize them there, then re-save them.

Easier than finding a resizing program.

I send them in outlook all the time and it asks if i want to make smaller/ You have to right click on the pic , then click on send to mail recipient then it asks if i want to resize.Then you just send to whoever...

I use irfan view to resize my pictures for mailing. It is "free" software. Google for it.

If you use MS Office 2003, you should have MS Office Picture Manager. Chose this to open your jpg (photo) file.

Once it opens, at the top menu, select "Picture". Depends on how large your photos are, you can either chose "Compress" and/or "Resize" to make the photo smaller size. Then, save it to another name. When I have a 1.5 MB size photos, I normally do both, compress first then, resize.

Here's step-by-step instruction:
1) Open file in MS Office Picture Manager
2) Select Picture\Compress
3) Right side menu gives 3 choices: Documents, Web Pages, E-mails. )Chose one and you'll see the size it compress it into. You can do "Edit\undo..." if you don't like it). I normally select Documents, and hit "OK" at the bottom of the menu.
4) Select Picture\Resize
5) Easiest choice is to do a "Percentage". I normally, resize from 60% and up. Again, you can play around with the different percentage to give you some idea and if you don't like it, do Edit\Undo.
6) Save or Save as your photo.

This tool also allows you to compress and/or resize multiple photos and Save All at the same time. Select the Thumbnail icon to do multiple photos.

Be careful not to Resize too much; otherwise, your photos loses quality.

I also use this tool to "crop" the photos. If you use crop, do this before doing compress/resize.

I've been busy and haven't check back this forum as often, so e-mail me if you have any questions. Good luck and have fun!
