Is there a way to convert a larger image to a smaller image without having to take the picture again? Is there a button, do I have to save it to a different size? If so, how?

There sure is. It's usually found as a "Resize" function somewhere in your program.

What software are you using? We can help you out better w/that important info 8•)

you can also look in the tutorials gallery for lessons in resizing images.

You may have to reshoot the picture .. bummer if it was the one with the Kodiak Bear charging you

or ..

Thanks ya'll. I am using a Digital DV Camera. I tried different resolutions to see if I could get a better image (i didn't know what they were at the time.) I captured some really great photos but there either too small or too big. I just download the pics to my computer and then try to put them on caedes.... didn't work.

so? .. let loose with some details .. and somebody will be along shortly to help

1) .. operating system
2) .. software you have
3) .. actual dimensions of your images
4) .. method of payment (cookies is preferred)

*drools* cookiesssssssss

"4)...method of payment? (cookies is preferred)" whatever that is. Anyway... the dimensions I first tried were 640x480 (too small). 2nd dimensions 2304x1728 (too big). After that I wasn't up for going outside and trying it again. Operation system: Windows XP. Software? None. I just downolad them from my DV Camera onto the computer. Then I save them to a folder then upload them to the website. Im planning on trying the irfanviewer thingy you said.

I have Irfanview, but I never use it. I just resize with Microsoft Photo Editor that comes with XP.

Directions for Photo Editor -
Open the image
Click on Image in the top menu
Click on Resize
Select Pixels from the Units drop-down menu
Type in Height = 1600, Width = 1200, and click on OK and you're done.

In order to NOT scrunch your image it is best not to force it into a set dimension unless it's only a small amount ... that's why it's best to enable

[x] maintain aspect ratio

and enter one dimension, like, 1600 width .. and see where the height comes in at. ... if it hits 1200 that's good .. but if it doesn't you can decide to crop or deal with it in other ways

but your image is the proper size to hit 1600x1200 .. so use Irfanview or MS photo editor


and .. if you can make brownies .. we'll accept them instead

Thanks guys.... you really helped. I'll let ya'll know if it worked. Come to think of it... if it does work the picture will be on here. Oh boy, I need to go to bed.
