Tutorial ~~ How to make a photo smaller !!!

I have had some ladies ask me how do I make my photo's smaller.Its EASY ladies, but I understand when you don't know how of course its not easy to you.
Believe me I was there too,I know the feeling......

First of all your going to download a free program called getpaint.net
Then after you have downloaded the program, you find the image you want to reduce in size,right click on the image and go to( Open with paint.net.)

#1Go to( Resize) its on the right

#2 then click on (BY Percentage), at this point I do 50%,you keep reducing until its the size you wish, you can do an odd number like 80% you don't have to use the 50% its just a suggestion.

#3 go to (File)

#4 go to (Save As) At this point you save your image in the folder you wish,if you don't know about folders save it to your desktop , that's where you will find your image after you have saved it.
*** Important*** when you save your image write the word ((SMALL)) after what ever you call your picture because if you don't it will not save the original image ,**example (( Diane's Eggs Small))

#5 the size after reduction should be anywhere from 150-250KB, not any larger than that for email purposes.



That's it honestly its not any harder than that.If there is anything else you would like to know how to.... I will be only too glad to help if I can......

I hope you understand what I did here if not send me an email I will try and help .
Good Luck!

I agree with both these ladies
I was wondering how to make a photo smaller and I wish you had a program that you just push button and make thighs,tummy and behing smaller.
Thanks

Great tips! I use a free program called Irfanview. It is an editing program so it has a lot more stuff. Your program sounds a lot easier for the beginner. Tina
