Resizing Pictures


I've noticed a few people on here that are having a hard time resizing photos or just don't have the software to do it.

I found a quick and easy solution to those that run Windows xp software. Follow the link below and there is a download for an image resizer that is extremely easy to use, just right click on your picture and an image resize option will come up, select then select which size you want and click ok.

I hope this helps. Dave.

I always like the look on the teller's face when she asks if I have a photo ID, - - and I point to myself and tell her "I look like this"!!

Re: Resizing Pictures


Yeah it happened, but I tried it again and it worked. Just a phantom I guess.
