Old Gold Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 If you want to reduce the size in MS Paint, it's best to go Image > Stretch/Skewthen just 'stretch' vertical and horizontal by equal amounts (using any percentage under 100%, say 70% each time) until you're happy with it. Use edit undo if you shrink it too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teabags Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Quite possibly the simplest application for windows;http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspxOn that page, go down the right side and download "ImageResizer.exe" which will add a feature to XP which, if you right click on a photo/image file you can choose a size to re-size it to. You can do this to one or multiple files in one go.Makes life SO much simpler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
