Pic Resizing Prog!

[Y2KSaInT]

Hi! I've noticed alot of ppl comlaining about not being able to resize their pics when they put it up. I've found a handy prog that lets you save ya pics in almost ANY format & resize it in 1 step. Its a small file about 630k. Its called irfanview & can be downloaded from http://www.irfanview.com OR http://www.download.com under irfanview.

Anyway hope this helps!
Cheers!

Uhhh just some general advice. Resizing an image so it prints a different size is general a bad idea. The reason is that as you scale down an images size you lose detail and printers are higher density output devices than a monitor In other words by scaling the image down you lose detail that the printer (drivers) could use to print a better quality image.

Instead of resizing the picture try this in a pinch:

Open a word processing program that supports images on the page (MS Word is a good example). Place the image on the page then resize and position it. You can also put multiple images on a page (great if you're using expensive paper).

This will give you the high quality image on the paper at the appropriate size.

There are better solutions to this problem, but for most users here that don't already know them, using a program like Word probably makes more sense.

This program works perfectly for what y2k put it up for, posting on the BB. I was just able to post 2 pics that I had not been able to upload before and they still look perfect. Thanks for the link Y2K.

Y2K was talking about resizing so they can post pictures on this site. The zone has file size and picture size restrictions. Just to let you know.
