Photos?

photobucket, Flickr, Picassa and then links work wonders.

 

You can PM it to me and I'll resize it for you and send it back. Or if it's already in your photo album, tell me which one.

 

Trey resizing it in MSPaint and saving it as a .jpg or .png file. Make sure the "Mantain aspect ratio" is checked under Win7/vista, or use the same percentage in XP.

 

I didn't think of that. Yes, you can easily resize it in paint. Save it as a jpeg, jpg, png or bmp. The only one you shouldn't use is .gif as it's not forum friendly. jpeg is the most common and bmp is the best quality.

I have Photoshop and a Canon program I use. But everyone has Paint. Today is the first time I looked at Paint in a few years. It has improved alot. I like it. Thanks BJ

 

When you save a photo you have two drop down menu's.

The first one is where you save it and the second one is the file type. Computers will automatically recommend one based on what it is. The only time you really have to worry is when you save a photo off a website. Some will be .gif and in the drop down menu, you save it as .jpeg or one of the others. That way it will be usuable everywhere you transfer it to.
