  |
|
|
I tried to follow the link to the video on how to do attachments, I did try on my own, but was too big, so thought I would watch the vid.
But it goes all funny on me, it comes up saying, 'how to resize pictures' but it carries on scrolling up and down, and I cant make head or tail of it. 
Can someone just write it, in the most simplist terms please.

That is what I always use as it by far the quickest and easiest way to get the job done, especially if all you want to do is get the pics small enough to post on t'internet

Bobbie you can use Paint - click Image then Attributes and you'll see a box where you can change the picture size using pixels, cms or inches. HTH :)

I don't think that will work, because it doesn't on my computer- I just end up with a small piece of what I started with

Auntiepink is right that you can use paint, but missed something out
If you use Image then Attributes and out in the size you want, you end up cropping stuff to the right and bottom of your pic, which is probably NOT what is wanted.
How you do this in Paint is to goto Image BUT then goto Stretch/Skew
If you then select the same percentage for Horizontal and Vertical, then you end up with a smaller - but complete - version of your pic.
I have used Paint exactly like that to resize pics, but for posting purposes, I now just use powertoy resizer as you can do a whole bunch of photos with just two mouse clicks.

I just use Photostudio 5.5, came with the scanner, so simple to use, takes seconds.
