How do you shrink photos to a smaller mb

If you’re on Windows XP I’d highly recommend this from Microsoft.

It’s one of their “powertoys” that they offer outside of their standard distribution.

What it does is allows you to right click on an image (or select a group of images) while it’s on your computer and to resize it there. I use it exclusively for all the images I upload and resize them to 640×480 with a few clicks.

Makes life easy.

But, that all depends on if you’re running Win XP and not the evil Vista.

Are you using Photobucket.com to download your photos into before you post onto forums/threads here? If so after downloading your photos, hit “edit”, then “resize” then go to “pre-set sizes” and select Message Board then to save changes, hit “Replace Original”. Hope that helps. :-)

Is there a way to post without using Photobucket? I cant seem to get it to work for me :(

mmmm.. No.. Unless you have your own web server like I do..

However, there ARE other photo hosts out there..

There are others out there as well..

If you like Google, they own the Picasa service now which includes software that’s awful nice.

Any of those should work.. Try out Picasa first though, you may like it.

Though, if that’s more tech, you may really enjoy Flickr for photo hosting. They work really well.

Thanks everyone, I’ll give it a try! More photos to come

I use Goggles’ Webb Albums and never have to resize!
I click on the picture and post it!
You have to start with Picassa 2 to download your pictures, upload to the Web Album and that’s it!
It is really easy!!
