Technical help please
Can someone tell me how to resize a pic? I cannot remember how to do it.

Re: Technical help please
I could do with being reminded of that too.

Re: Technical help please
I don't have the complex software other people have so I open it up in Microsoft Paint:
START-->All Programmes-->Accessories-->Paint
On the command line at the top ("File", "Edit", "View", "Images") you select "Images", and move down to the "Stretch / Scew" offer.
Change the Horizontal and Vertical figueres (for STRETCH only, not Scew) to the same percentage figure. Over 100 and the picture gets bigger, under 100 it gets smaller. 50 in each option should make it half (50%) as wide and half as high therefor one-quarter the original size.
Hope this helps

Thank you MBH. I couldn't for the life of me remember how to do it.
