I gave you the answer here:

Right after you told me:

So your (sic) missing the whole topic?

A good free program to change (shrink) pics is GIMP:

GIMP - The GNU Image Manipulation Program

Lots of features and it's FREE.

Not really that hard to use the program, to resize is way simple.

I tried gimp and I really hate the multiple windows, I've used Paintshop Pro a LOT and I still find gimp confusing and awkward.

Photoscape is the simplest to use I've found.
Photoscape : Free Photo Editing Software (Photo Editor) Download

To each his own. I like GIMP and it works fine. Photoshop = too expensive and nothing over the free stuff.

I don't do Google software - a bit intrusive, IMHO.

[Kevlarr]

No what I was saying is I've worked with Photoshop a lot as in I've used it a lot in the past. I lost it when I had a HD crash and I tried gimp as an alternative.

I'm on a Mac and I had purchased a program called Downsize like 8 years ago for 6 dolla. They have a permanent file on me in the event I lose my program like when I upgrade or get another Mac and will give me my purchase number I also get free upgrades.
I love this program because it's almost too easy to use.

Stunt Software - Downsize


(edit) WOAH. They raised their prices. But man I use this all the time.

Actually windows has this capability.

Have a look at this thread, (http://motorbicycling.com/f30/how-po...ures-7572.html), and then do the following:

1) Launch paint...pic#1

2) Click file...open...and find your photo in the directory where it is stored...pic#2

3) Click Image...attributes to see the current size of your photo...pic#5

4) Click Image and then sretch/skew...alter the 2 stretch percentage values equally so that your photo is within the acceptable range for upload...pics #4 & #3

5) Save with a new name if you want to retain the original. I usually create a sub directory for modified photos that are used on the net.
