Can no longer resize pics with XP?

jetskidia

Up until recently I could resize pics by right clicking on them and then changing size.

I have now lost that option when I right click

Any idea how to get it back please

Thanks

I have just downloaded this out of curiosity, and haven't really discovered it's potential. On Picasa, if I click on a pic it automatically zooms in and out, but that's about all. My next move was to a live webcam thinking maybe I could freeze and save a pic, but not as yet. Maybe someone would enlighten me please on things this facility will do.

yes but which one? there appears to be many.

Oh, and why not the link above?

You need the link on the right which is called Image Resizer. This link takes you straight to the file, not another web page.

System

Yes, but as yet, even though I've done that, how is this best used. Normally when I double clic on any pic, it changes anyway.

Open up a pic, right click on the pic and choose the option "resize pictures";)

System

There is no option to resize, is that because im on firefox?

What you need to do is to open the folder containing the pics, then right click on the pic or pics that you want to re-size, then the menu becomes available to re-size them. Don't open the picture up first.
