What's the best way to resize pics for the forum if you don't have photoshop??
For the less computer literate among us, I'm wondering what's the best way to resize pics...
I've been using Microsoft Photo Editor (right click the photo's file and go to -Open With, then -Microsoft Photo Editor) which I think is a standard
program that comes with Windows...
In -Properties -Resolution, I've been changing it from 180 down to 20, and in -image, -resize, I've been changing the width to 20 (which
automatically changes the height to 15) and it seems to take it down to 30 - 40 kb, which seems to work well and look good and give enough detail for
the pic...
Is there a better way to do it, ie giving bigger size with less resolution, but still giving a good pic for forum purposes?

In windows XP I open up the folder where your pic is stored in windows explorer (right click start and then click explore) - when you open up the
folder right click on it and then click resize - small which will mostly cut it down to size below 50
