Gotta STUPID question.......I tried posting a pic, said the file was too big, said to "downsize" it, now how in HADES do you DOWNSIZE a digital photo?????

Dennis

I have an Olympus camera. With the camera came a cd to edit your photos once you put them online. I can do everything with the photos.

Did you get a cd with your camera?

Once you do this, you can put them on webpages, the right size.

Yeah, Dennis, I had that problem too. My photos were taken a while ago and it wasn't an option to adjust the camera.

I'm sure that photoshop has lots of ways to reduce the size, either by reducing the resolution, or cropping the picture.

Here's what I had to do: Open the file in MS Paint and change the attributes, to reduce the size of the picture. You can select the number of pixels of height and width, but it always chops off the bottom and the right side. As a result, you have to rotate the picture around to crop it the way you want. Then when it's all done, you can "save as" a .jpg. Bitmaps are always much larger than a jpg.

I reduced my picture from about 200 kb to about 80.

Go to Start: All Programs: Acessories: Then Paint.. Open your photo up in the.. File Open (then find your file) Once you got it opened go to Image: then Stretch/Skew.. Then for example if you wanted to make the picture half the size you would put in 50 and 50 Then file save

Thanks Chad!! I'll try it!
