Reducing Picture Size - Resolved

I have saved pictures from a CDRom on my hard drive. How do you reduce them in size so they can fit into the Picture Gallery?

Hi,

One easy way to resize your pics is with Microsoft Photo Editor. Just right click on your pic and click on open and it will give you a choice. Click on Photo Editor and your pic should now be open. At the top click on Image and then on resize. Change the inches to pixels and you're ready to resize....

I hope that helps!!! There are other ways to do it but most people have access to Photo Editor so I thought that would be the easiest...

Let me know if you have any problems..

If you don't have a photo editor progarm already, there are some free ones on the internet. Such as:

I can not download this program on this work computer. How do you use Image Viewer to do this?

I don't have image viewer.

If the program has a resizing or resampling feature it will be under the edit tool.

Check the "help" section of the progarm for resampling or resizing (picture size or size).

I have found out how to reduce the image size using Microsoft Office Picture Manager. However, I can not seem to "save" the reduced size image. Can someone help me on this?

Eek! Sounds like you are on a corporate network of some kind. If you are then IT staff could possibly be monitoring your internet activity (e-mails, websites visited). They certainly did at the last big company I worked at. Bosses could also monitor what we were doing on our PCs - i.e. were we working or playing Civ? Desktop support could remotely control my PC, with administrator privileges, and see any files I might be storing on the hard drive. I could even control some other users PCs (with their permission, supporting systems they used).

So I'd advise you be very careful.

I don't mean to worry you but I've always been a bit paranoid with regards to computer security.

I want to thank all you gurlz who replied to this question. I have found a was to reduce the image size when you "save" it from the CDRom. You can see my 4 pictures in the gallery.
