Send photos by e-mail - how to resize?

missdrexie

I have tried to send photos uploaded from digital camera and mobile phone via e-mail, and when received are so big you cannot see the entire photo on screen. If anyone can tell me how to send so they don't end up huge that would be great!

open the picture in paint, then image > stretch / skew and change horizontal and vertical to 50. This will change them to 50% of their size. If still too big knock it down more.

If you don't have Paint or any other image processer download this

Small and as powerfull as many £70 + programs and its FREE !

DO READ the set up and help files before you use any new program !

I have managed to resize using paint as described by scheming gypsy and have sent it, waiting to find out if received the other end ok, followed instructions so should be good. Thanks for your replies everyone, your help is appreciated! :T

One of the best free image programs is Irfanview from https://www.irfanview.com.

I concur, picasa is great. I download the pics from my camera at 5 mega pixel resolution, open picasa where there is then a clear function that says 'email pics' after you select which ones. It then turns a 1.5-2mb picture into 40-60k which is perfect with emailing and still good quality on the screen.

It also sorts out all your pics, far better than windows does.
