Having trouble resizing a pic for the pic post. I have Vista...I know, insert jokes here..... the MS Office picture manager up and the pic is 435 KB. I know it has to be less than 100. I am stuck as to how to do this. Any help? (Again) lmanyonatsbcglobaldotnet.

The easiest way to downsize a picture is to open the photo you want to send, then choose the email option which will ask you if you want to downsize the image. Try "medium" and rather than emailing the image, save it to your desktop - load that picture onto CBid - then delete it.

Seems like a lot of steps, but it's easier than downloading anything.

dont have MS picture it?

Redleg, tired that and it was rejected because it was not a pic. I musta done something wrong.

#3, Not sure....Looked through programs and couldn't find it.

Go here & download Image Resizer:

Should work with Vista !?!

Ram.....Tried it and it said it already exists but I can't find it!!!!!!

you can also re-size photos here:

if I choose the 'make pic 75% smaller' box, it almost always comes out within the acceptable size parameters for the pic-post forum. Ram's link above looks good too--maybe better.

Hey! Thanks chief.....That worked! Gotta remember that one.

Image resizer is a right-click function. Simply hover the mouse over the file you want to resize and click the right button (same as if you were going to do a cut, copy,paste, properties, etc... function)

What #6 said.........the picture will be saved in the same directory as the original as filename(small).

see picasa thread it works with Vista
