to resize pictures for posting on C-Bid. I am using an 8.0MP camera and was wondering what I could use to scale down the picture to the 100kb we can post. I usually use my cell phone to post but it does not take good pics.

load ImageResizer.exe

after this you can just right click the image file and resize it easily.

^ agree with andy. Very simple. And once you download it all you have to do is right-click on the picture and the option to "resize image" will appear in the menu.

I use Kristi Yamaguchi's short program, which is odd, since I can't even skate. Plus, the triple toe loop is a beeotch.

MS's imageresizer is probably the simplest.

If you have photoshop, under the "file" menu there is an option called "Save for web" - it allows you to manually resize, crop, control compression ratios all while showing you a preview of the final image and telling you the final saved size (in KB) in the lower left corner of the screen.

I normally use Photoshop.

Microsoft paint. Its super easy. Just open click resize and enter percent to resize to.

Microsoft Office 2007 Picture Manager. Just click view and slick re-size for web-large. it will resize perfectly every time.

I wrote a code for doing this in the latest and yet to be released programming language. It inputs a picture, bit by bit, then performs a Fourier transform on only the red bits, a Laplace transform on the blue bits, and all of the other bits are randomized using a Montecarlo random number generator, finally the image it resized in inverse space to the upper half-infinite plane and the inverse transforms are performed on the yellow and green bits. The whole process takes about twelve and a half minutes.
