    Thanks. I finally just discovered and easier way .
    • Right click edit on picture to be edited.
    • It comes up then under paint
    • Go to attributes
    • Click stretch/skew
    • reduce both from 100% to 50% (width and length)
    • and it downloads perfectly.
    Hope this helps someone.
    Many thanks though.

    I couldn't get on with that either, I kept getting just the top left hand corner of the photo. In the end I took new photos in a smaller size - there's a setting on my camera. Maybe someone else has a better idea.:confused:
