How do I make photos smaller using MS Paint?
« on: February 15, 2006, 08:24:11 am »
Reason I say is cause my Olympus dig cam takes pics way too big when I post them here on the dyna.  :(

Thanks for any help.

Ok first load them up in MS Paint... Click on Image then the Stretch and Skew button. you may have to play with It abit, but then just save as as .jpg or whatever, using say Jack1copysmall. there might be an easier way, but I think that's the easiest.

A better way is to do it in word where you can resize the photo as small or as large as you want.

w/o cutting anything out of the photo.
