| Resizing pictures.... Okay, I've read all about it in the how-to section BUT my question is..... is there any way to resize pics without downloading a program to do it from? At work I don't have the "authority" to download any programs so I'm patiently waiting for our IT guy to come do it for me but I hated having to tell him why I wanted it, ya know? The site that was recommended in the how-to thread was irfanview.com. Just wondering... is that the one that most of you use or is there a better one (for when he finally gets around to coming to help me)? Thanks!!

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Most computers come with regular Windows "Paint", you can do it in that program. You can also do it at Photobucket. To do it in Paint just choose "image" and then "stretch/skew" and choose the percent bigger or smaller that you want it.

| This is a site where you can upload your photo and then tell it what size you want it and then save it on your PC. It's handy I know there are several members who I've recommended this too that find it very easy to use. Online Image Resizer - Resize digital photo, images or pictures online!

YT Graphic Artist Donating Member | Here's a way to do it without any software at all. Email them to yourself! Most email programs (AOL, Hotmail, etc.) will give you the option of re-sizing pictures when you send them. I grab a whole bunch at once (maybe 20 pics or so) and email them to myself using hotmail. They are automatically perfectly resized for YT - without having to download anything.

| Okay, I'm looking at Paint and I have a picture I'm practicing with. What percentages and degrees would I need to set the stretch and scew for to make it the largest acceptable size for YT upload?

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | After you resize it in Paint, you can go to "image" and "attributes" and it will tell you the size you made it, but it won't resize it from there, but it just cuts off a portion if you change the numbers.

| I normally just google "free photo resizer" or something similar to that and pick one of the options that come up. Picresize.com works pretty well. I've also used resizr.com and photosize.com. All of these sites just have you upload a picture, resize it and then save it to your computer.

It depends on how big the picture is to begin with. The albums will take a picture around 600 pixels or 6 inches wide, the regular thread will take a picture 800 pixels or about 8 inches wide. Some people make them too small, so don't do that! If it's a little too big Yorkietalk automatically resizes them. To get the picture in the same porportion just change the percentage the same in both the horizonal and vertical, for example change both to 80%, and see if that's small enough. You don't have to change the degrees.

Donating YT 10K Club Member | Microsoft office picture manager allows you to resize pictures. You can also resize them in your Kodak Gallery. Click a picture...then click edit.

| You're welcome. There is an option to do it so you don't need to download anything which is handy on a work computer.
