Lucky_13 Pillar of the Community United States 749 Posts	Posted 05/03/2008 09:46 am The photos I wish to post are too large of a file. I have downloaded and attempted to follow the program Irfanview and this has proved difficult for me as well. Can anyone help me out with this issue? I need a step by step, laymans version. Thank You ~not so Lucky in photo posting Report this Post to the Staff

Rui Most Valued Member 11111125 Posts	Posted 05/04/2008 05:37 am Even Windows Paint can reduce the image size for you. It's not wise to upload several megabyte pictures anyway. In Windows Paint (All Programs->Accessories->Paint), open the desired image then choose the Strech/Skew option from the Image menu and then specify percentages below 100% for horizontal and vertical stretch (same percentage for both) and the image size will be reduced. You can do it several times, by trial and error, if the resulting size is not the one you like. Once done, make sure you save the image in JPEG format, so that storage size is as small as possible.

This can dramatically reduce the picture's size, without losing resolution that a general shrinking can do. To crop pictures in MS Paint: 1. Click on the "Select" rectangle and box the area of interest. Get as close to the edges of the coin as you can. 2. Cut or Copy the selection onto the clipboard. 3. Open a new blank picture by clicking on File-New. don't save the changes to the original. 4. Paste the clipboard onto the white space. 5. Drag the bottom-right corner of the white space up and left until no new white is showing. 6. Save it! Other graphics programs are normally much less tedious at cropping; most have a one-click "Crop" option in the Edit menu. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
