Converting Digital Pic's to web format

[AE]

Need to know how to format digital pictures, downloaded
from the camera to a Windows XP folder, into web format,
in order to reduce the pic size. Windows ME has MGI photo
suite which includes an option that automatically converts
them to web format, however, that program is not available
on our Sony Viao laptop which has the Windows XP program.

You can download a free software to do this (and also much more) here:

or
Go to this site and download the free Image Resizer. Exe file in one of your
folder.

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp

Once in your folder, double click on it to install it.

Once installed, you right click on a photo file (or on a group of selected
photo files).

Click on Resize image on the opening menu.

A window will open, select the size you want.

New files will be added in your folder, same name as original file but with
the word (small) added.



The first time you use it, you may not see Resize image on the opening menu
after you right click on the file or if you see it, it may not work. If so,
do the following:

Click on Run, click on Start and type the following in the textbox:

REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL

and press the Enter key.

Note that there is a space between ...32 and SHI.
