I have a pic I want to post but it's too big. I don't know the correct size or how to go about getting it to the correct size. Am using Adobe Photoshop.

I don't have a problem with the upload process, just getting the pic to fit seems to be giving me problems.

Thanks for any help possible

There should be someplace on the menu where you can alter the resolution of the picture. so either shrink it so you still have the same pixels per inch but it is reduced in size (so a 4X6 or 3X5 rather than an 8X10) or you have fewer pixels per inch.

Also sometimes when saving something as a JPG if you chose normal quality rather than high quality that will reduce the file size as well.

Do you have MS Picture Manager? It's in the MS Office tools, one of the suite of programs you get with Office.

If so, It's reall easy to resize picts. JUst open up your image in MS picture manager, click the edit button, click the resize, and experiment to get whatever size you wish. YOu don't have to fight a learning curve, It shows the size of the pict. If you sweep the pointer over the picture, the pict size is shoen then too. (I think about 50K pixels is the upper limit for posting?)

It has a few stock sized, and allow a custom resizing. Large Email size gets a photro sized image, and small email size gets a thumnail sized pict. Save as gif or Jpeg, and there you are.

You can also choose "compress picture" in that program and compress it for web publishing. That should automatically reduce the size of the pic and make it postable.

Resizing pictures isn't too difficult with MS Paint as well. Just go to Image > Stretch/Skew, then plug in the percentage by which you want to resize your image.

That works for me, too. You'll have to tell it which format you want to save it in, though (usually .gif or .jpg / .jpeg formats). Don't use the .bmp format as it takes up a lot more space.
