open the picture in MS paint (everyone has this program) then go to the top and go to Image, then go down to stretch/skew, then under stretch change the percentage of both the horizontal and vertial. it helps to change them to the same percentage. its really easy

Okay, I guess I know how to do that now thanks, but how big should I make it to be able to post it? After I resize it should I then resave it in my pictures over the original so it is littler and will post?

50 wide, by what ever the verticle size is will go on with no trouble 99% of the time.

Just checking to see if it works for me. BTW can you change them back after downsizing?

jhow66 · 10-02-2002, 03:28 PM

I downsized this one at 80 instead of 50--looks better.

well, heres a pic, I don't need to resize it though. How do you take it from the paint program to the reply sheet?

Okay, I know how to make the pictures smaller now. But now how do I get the smaller pic from paint to the place where you attach the pic?
