I have been trying all night to upload pics for a xmas card on behalf of a friend. The pics upload fine but are too big for the cards and can only be enlarged not shrunk.

I have tried changing the pixels but then it states it is of too low a resolution and is still too big for the card. I have been using a windows photo editor as I don't have photoshop. It is driving me round the twist and I need help! I don't want to let my friend down but it is driving me bonkers. :confused:

    Download Paint.Net it's free and you'll be able to resize and change before you upload.

    Thanks for both of those tips. I downloaded paint.net but don't have much idea how to use it. I think from fiddling about that the problem is that I cropped the pics prior to trying to make them into cards. I have tested out with uncropped pics of my own and they work fine. great links though from both of you that I will definitely use in the future.
