    How To Resize Pictures on Standard Windows PC

    Here is an easy way for all to resize pictures after you have downloaded the picture to your computer...

    1. with your mouse, "Right-Mouse-Click" the picture.. a window will pop up
    2. Hover your mouse over "Open With"... a screen will pop-up next to it
    3. Once the second screen pops up... Look for "Paint" and "Left-Mouse-Click"( this will open up Microsoft Paint) 
    4. Now that your picture is open in MSPaint, look up at menu bar on top and you will see (File,Menu,View,Image,Colors,Help) Left-Mouse-Click "Image" then"Stretch/Skew"

          5. Once that window opens... In the "Stretch" field, you put the same numbers (less then 100) in both "Horizontal and Vertical" fields and left-click "Ok"... " align="left">


    It will depend on the camera that you use as to how big the picture is... You should be able to do 75% on the first try and then 50% on the second try and that should make the picture less then half the original image and should fit good within the forum. Hope this helps, let me know if theres any questions.

    You made it sound so easy....I know it will still take me so long that I probably not change or post many pictures.

    Thanks to everyone for your help.
