resizing images

***Bob Cooper*** · September 28th, 2007, 01:25 PM

I pasted this image to a message and it comes out REALLY BIG. I created the image by uploading to tinypic.com.

How can I resize the image?

Thanks

If you run Windows (not DIR!) one way is to open the image with Paint, go to "Image" -> "Stretch/skew" and apply a stretch of <100% to both horizontal and vertical, and then save the new image.

I use adobe photoshop and use image resize. Then host it in photobucket.

Another thing you can do (not sure if it helps you in this case) is put "_th" on the end of the first part of the image filename. That points at a thumbnail image on tinypic instead of the full image. In your case the image is 28aq5g0.jpg, so just use 28aq5g0_th.jpg instead.

You can combine that with a URL wrapped around it to make the thumbnail link to the big image:

For Windowns XP users, go to this site: Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP

and download "Image Resizer" (from column on the right). Install and next time you right click on an image on your computer it'll give you the option to resize. Just set it to small and are all set to post the photo on any website. It's super convenient.

Good idea, I tried it and resized my image.....

Was that first picture a 1:1 scale photo of the bolt snap Greg had on his scooter last week?

FWIW The GIMP (www.gimp.org) is an free alternative to Photoshop and has similar capabilities (maybe not quite as fully featured...)
