Hi Leisa, too may pixels
You have uploaded at 2080 x 1544 pixels try reducing to 600x400[msnwink]

[LiesaAnna]

how??

[DarrenShort]

You could use a photo package program to reduce the size, acdsee or photoshop are good ones to use.

[Snapper]

Before you do anything Liesa ... make a copy of the original image files

Then ... using the copies only

Open one in Microsoft Paint and then press CTRL-W (Control and W together). This will give you a box called stretch and skew. If you put 25 for the percentage in both the horizontal and vertical and hit Enter this should size them about right.

Then you neeed to save them; which is why it's really important to take a copy first as once they are saved after being shrunk there is no way to get the original size and detail back again.

Another way to get the stretch/skew box is from the menu bar. It's on Image-&gt;Stretch/Skew.

If you are running Windows XP there are 2 ways to get the images into Paint. The usual way is to right click the file and choose Open With and then choose Paint. There is a bit of a shortcut that I tend to use, which is just to double click the image and have it open in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. Then if you press CTRL-E (Control and E together) it will transfer it into Paint for you.

Don't forget to make those copies first.

thanks for the help people

mum (hattie) is trying to change the size of some of the pictures i'll do some more later if i get time.

[jolliffee]

[MaggieAllan]

Leisa..I still can't see the pics?????

I have checked the other photo threads and can still see them, so I don't understand????

[LiesaAnna]

have no idea maggie what is happening! anyone know?? i can see them, i have so many to go through, but theyve not come out as nice as expected feel another new camera coming on!
catch you tonight!:)

[KJH]

I can see them....did your hat shrink in the wash? or does it expand in the sun:D

glad to have you back[msnsmile2]

[LiesaAnna]

pathetic isnt it! we spent many hours searching for a hat for a giggle, you shouldve seen them in florida! especially walmart! i know now for next time!
thanks Kaz:)

[eagleydo]

Love the hat!! Where's the blue sunglasses though? Did you take them off to eat the toast?

[benfilo]

if you just want to make the odd pic smaller you can right click on it, choose send, mail recipient and it will give you the choice of reducing it without altering the original. you could have a folder ready to save them in.
it sounds fiddly but it is quick

[LiesaAnna]

it all sounds ok tro me, i do try these things then something doesnt go the way i want it to then i have to scream for russ!
we'll get there!

[benfilo]

trust me I'm no expert, it is easy even I can do it

[Magical Dreams]

Liesa

When do we see the rest of the Piccies??

Nice hat by the way!!
[grouphug]

[LiesaAnna]

[LiesaAnna]

[CarolAnn]

Ummmmmmmmmmm?? Wat no pics? Are they coming soon?

[LiesaAnna]

[Southsider]

LiesaAnna, Your pics have disappeared???

Tricia

[LiesaAnna]

yes i dont know what russ has done? not sure am gonna bother putting them back on here, it feels an unfriendly place to be now![msnwink]

[eagleydo]

Liesa are you putting those pics back on again. Love the one with your hat, you always make me smile. If anyone upsets you girl have you ever thought it may be because they perhaps are a little jealous of your friendly nature, let it not matter, you have many friends on this forum!

[Russ]
