Resizing your pictures to post on the Chipboard

Hello everyone. I thought that this tip might be helpful.... many of you may take a picture of something, and with the large megapixel size, when you view it on your PC, it comes out bigger than you want it to when you want to share with everyone - sound familiar?

Here is what I do with the picture I get. I assume that you are using a PC,
and not a MAC:
1. Open the picture in MS Paint.
2. Type -W this is the stretch and Skew function
3. Change the size of the picture (Horizontal and Vertical on the Stretch
part to be the same number like for example say 50 and 50 in each of the two
boxes).
4. Click the OK button.
That's it.
If you don't like it - then do -z (to undo your change) and just
start over again!

Then you can do a 'save as' to save your file - then post your pictures on
the web (or wherever your doing it).

There may be other ways to do this I'm sure (more than one way to skin a cat), but for me that's what I do.

Take care
