Any suggestions on good software for pics. I have pics I want to post but can't get them small enough for c-bid to accept. Unless I post them in the size of a stamp!

Or is there something else I don't know?

Thanks for the help...

I use Paint Shop Pro. It does everything I need it to do. Some people use Photoshop. Photoshop is too $$$ in my opinion. I'd rather spend the extra cash on smokes.

If you save your images as a JPEG, there is usually an option to compress the photo when saving it. This option can be found in most graphics software programs. Compressing the image can result in a minor loss of image quality, but nothing that you will notice when viewing the photo on the computer. The % reduction in file size far exceeds any loss in picture quality.

Hope that made sense. I'm typing and eating my lunch at the same time.

One good and rather cheap program I'd really recommend is ACDSEE. It provides a slide show option and you can modify pictures in many ways (including size and compression). Often you can get it from one of the large online stores for real cheap. I bought the last year's model and it was about 1/3 of the price as the current version, under $20 if I remember correctly.

It's not as inclusive as Photoshop, which I'd also recommend, but it's FAR cheaper.

I likes Paint Shop Pro: cheaper than Photoshop, and more powerful than ACDSee. The older versions don't time-out.

Thanks Bruddas...

I was messing around and stumbled into Microsoft Paint and found I can manipulate all my pics through it.. and it's so easy even I can do it!

If you are looking for a cheap (read free), easy to use photo viewer capable of resizing try IRFANVIEW. You can download at www.irfanview.com

I use several different photo software packages but this is the easiest to use for quick resizing.
