shrinking digi pics

paddles

Hi,
not sure where to post this but how do i shrink a digi photo to a new size? i've tried opening a photo in MS paint but it comes up huge and too big for the screen, thanks.
i've also this prob sometimes when trying to open a pic sent via email - it opens up too big for screen.

If you just wanna shrink them for e-mails or uploading to facbook etc Id recommend you take a look at Microsoft Powertoys Image Resizer. Its a free download that adds an Image Resize option when you right-click on a picture.
The XP version is here but a quick google should provide links for similar things for vista/7

i did this but there are big variations in quality. when i have it shrunk it's not as good, the next size up is poorer quality. it's best when i can see it on my screen but doesn;t look as good altered.

depends what browser you are using?
Firefox will resize a pic to the browser window size and then it will have a + icon for the cursor to zome in, and IE6 upwards has a resize icon on the bottom left or right( cant remember as i dont use it anymore ) if you hover the mouse there to resize it.

In MS Paint, you can resize images by going to the 'Image' toolbar and then selecting 'Stretch/Skew'. Ultimately, however, the best free graphics programme that I have ever come across is LView Pro.
