Title: What do I do to 'shrink' pictures if they are too big?
Post by: Vicku on January 01, 2009, 20:15:42 pm

Trying to add some pictures to a thread, but suspect that they are too big... They are saved in JPEG format.
I've also had problems uploading a new avatar picture and suspect that is because of the same thing. Can anybody help? I'm useless with these things ::)

hey what I do, is open them in paint, go to image along the top, go to stretch/skew and under the stretch part, put 50% in  both boxes and leave the skew alone, if its too big, I then go bak to stretch/skew and then put in 70%. thats usually enough :)
