Topic: How can I resize a picture?

I want to list vegetable seeds on some sites.

The site tells me it has to be 500 on the large side? Whatever that means.

Any clues?

I get the pictures off the site I get the seeds from.

Thanks in advance.

right click on the pic and you will see a drop down list
you will see one of the list says 'open with'
click on this
then open with paint

once open you should be able to resize it by dragging the sides of the pic

hope this is what you meant or I will look stupid:wink:

I tried that paint program and the picture comes out reeeeeally big.
I am trying photobucket to see if that works.
Any other editing programs I can download?

PS
Every time I see your picture I get a stupid look. :wink: drool

Photoshop did it.

Gonna be slow and tedious.

I will see if I have that windows viewer . If I don't, I'll see about loading it.

Thanks, Beautiful!!flowers

I use http://www.irfanview.com.
Select ALL applications when prompted.

Then, whenever you click on ANY picture
on your computer, you get an edit bar
that can resize.

It does many other useful things also :-)

I was going to mention the Exact same thing!
I've been an Irfanview User since 1996!!
It's always been Simple, and it's always been FREE :)

The best part about Irfanfiew for what you are trying to do is:
you can tell it the EXACT number of pixels you actually want the picture to be - it will keep the aspect ratio, or not, depending on what you need/want/looks best :)

Also, I believe what soufiehere meant was choose all image extensions when you're installing it initially. This means that most every pic on your computer will be opened by Irfanview. It's a hellava lot simpler that Photoshop, as well as less "robust" so it works with amazing Speed.

You can download a program called IrfanView from the web, freeware. It will allow you to easily resize and or reformat any images. Great piece of software. I use it to resize or make .ico files for web development.
