Default Re: Resize pics using windows paint

Hi,

I posted about using paint a few months ago, https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showp...5&postcount=20

but I just tried something in Windows.

- right mouse click on the picture on your computer
- Select "Edit"
- Microsoft "Paint" opens
- select the "Resize'' button
- Select "Pixels"

- put in 800 in top box
- Check off "retain aspect ratio" Attached Thumbnails

******


So first find your picture, if you can't do that disregard everything below :-)

- Right mouse click and you will see "Paint 3D" and "Edit"
Edit will open up "Paint" and is easier if you're just going to make the picture smaller but Paint 3D is useful to crop too.

- For the edit in Paint follow 51 Merc's instructions or mine above.
For Paint 3D there are more steps so not as good in my opinion.

- Now select crop and you'll see a place to resize your picture. Just change the horizontal to 800 or less and with the "keep aspect ratio", the vertical will change automatically

- Now "Save as" with your smaller picture.
