I could use some help with a pic question for you puter guru's - The Firearms Forum

76Highboy · 09-22-2012, 03:57 PM

I would like to post some pics but would like to know how you guys get your pictures to be smalerl as opposed to so huge you can't see the whole thing because it is bigger then the whole screen. Also, can I put more then 4 pics for post?

Thanks,
Jim

How's this Jim?

76Highboy · 09-22-2012, 05:17 PM

What version window are you using?

I have "7". So, if I want to edit my photos I open up Windows Live Pic Gallery.

Click the "Edit" menu then find "resize". You will have several pre existing sizes; and you can also "customize" the size you want.

Vista, 98 & other Windows operations work very similar.

Download a copy of Photofiltre - it's freeware and will do a fine job for re-sizing pics.

You can get it here: http://photofiltre.en.softonic.com/

You don't need Photoshop to resize pictures. Open Paint and resize the picture and save it. Easy as could be and all PC computers have Paint, so nothing to buy.

crystalphoto · 09-22-2012, 05:56 PM

On their way back to you, Jim!

And tcox4freedom has a good point, if you don't have Live Essentials installed, they can be gotten here free:

Hope this helps

As already mentioned, you can use the Windows Live Gallery to resize pics if you've got a vista/7 machine.

I still use Irfanview for my all-around photo-viewer/utility program. Most of the time it's what I use for little edits like resizing.
Lots of features and it's a freebie too. www.irfanview.com
Photofiltre that WHSmithIV posted looks like an intriguing little program. I will have to check it out.

For bigger editing jobs, I use either Photoshop or PaintShopPro but those are commercial.

BETH · 09-22-2012, 06:07 PM

when u have a photo up how do u get to paint

crystalphoto · 09-22-2012, 06:18 PM

Beth: Start>All Programs>Accessories>Paint
Then Open> your Photo

I just had to check that out, as I haven't used paint since Win'95... that's come a long LONG way!

And Bindernut is right, I wouldn't recommend the average user run out and buy Photoshop...

I use a photo-hosting site. Mine is photobucket, but there are are others out there. Sometimes I have pix that, when I upload to here from my confuser, they are huge, but if I upload them to photobucket, and then link to them, they are the right size for a website.

gvw3 · 09-22-2012, 07:44 PM

Microsoft Office Picture Manager Came with Office 2007 and 2010. Not sure about 2003. Very easy to use.
