Image Size

[Wizzle]

Can one of you Image wizards help me out here.....I have images that I am loading into a program that are just way too big. If I go to take a look at them after I've loaded them in, they take up the whole screen and you only see a 1/4 of the whole picture. I can export the pic as a JPEG Image....is there any way to then take it and re-size the thing so it isn't so huge. I know it's not the program because it is not all of the pictures.....some are smaller and work fine. I would appreciate any help on this. Thanks.

simple way, using MS Paint:

btw, what are you using these pics for? sending them via email? posting them online? depending on the application, you should consider the proper size.

thanks Matt, I'll give that a try.

It's for a property record data base. The images are things like a house, commercial building, corn field....etc. I need to be able to, while in each property record, pull up the corresponding pic.

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but that seems to just be cropping out a portion of the entire image

Put your arrow on the bottom right of the image and drag it bigger. MS paint doesn't adjust the "canvas" (the viewable area) to match the size of the picture you open.

When you've got the MS Paint window open and you open the picture that is freaking huge, hit Alt-W and it opens the resize window. From there, shrink down by percentage - make sure both percentages are the same.

From experience, it keeps a better quality when you drop it to 90%/90% over and over rather than dropping it to say, 30% once. The bigger the resize all at once, the more the quality lacks.

Microsoft Photo editor also does the job. My PC came with it, not sure if yours did.
