paulus 26 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 just someone was struggling to get some show photos up .... as i have said, it all depends on what software used, some use picasa some Photoshop, flicker or any software that comes with a camera. size will also depend on what file format the picture is taken/store in jpeg, raw etc. all of these software options will have re-size options as indeed does Microsoft paint.

dytkos 18,005 Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Stig, depends on which Windows you have to do it my easy way Copy pic on desktop. Right Click then hit properties (so you know how big it is) Close then right click again, hit edit. Then If it gives you "Image" left click then hit "stretch/skew" Take 100% and change to say 40 (horizontal and vertical) Close and save changes. Click properties again and it will show the size. Usually reduced from say 1.5 MB to 200kb (for example only) depending on size of original pic. Sound s gobbledygook but if I can do it, anyone can Cheers, D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
