Microsoft's Picture it.

[Dave]

Hello,

I have just got started with digital cameras and photos. I'm having a
problem with resizing a picture to a small size to use as an avatar on a web
site. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Dave

You mentioned Picture It!...which version?

Actually, there's a neat PowerToy for WinXP that
will resize images. Go to the following link and
download and install:
ImageResizer.exe

http://tinyurl.com/36n

Then you can open any folder that contains images
and you will have an option to resize. Just right click
the selected image files and choose Resize Pictures.
You can select one image or a whole group.

The program will place the resized copies in the folder
with your originals.

Thanks John. I downloaded the image resizer but can't find it. The only
thing that shows when I open all programs is a readme file. Help!

It's not a program that you need to open....

All you have to do is....open any folder that
contains images and you will have an option
to resize. Just right click the selected image
files and choose Resize Pictures. You can
select one image or a whole group.

The program will place the resized copies in
the folder with your originals.

BTW...when resizing if you go to...Advanced
Button / Custom...and enter 640 in each field
....that will be a good size for e-mail purposes.
