Reef raider pretty much all computers will have the right equipment to do this.

Right click it and press \"Open With\".

Then you will have some options. On mine its Microsoft Office Picture Manager. However on some computers there is also \"Microsoft Photo Editor\".

Once your in whatever program you have go to \"Picture\" and \"Resize\".

The photo's need to be 400 pixels or less for the forums.

Pixels will be one of the options when you hit resize. Save as and your done.

Good luck!

Using the same program as Angus you can also go \"Picture\" and then \"Compress\". Select \"Compress for: Web Pages\", click OK and then \"File\" and \"Save As\", so you don't overwrite your original! The compress tool automatically cuts down the resolution and boosts up the compression to further decrease file size.

Then when exiting it will tell you that \"There are changes that haven't been saved.\" If you look at the filename you'll see that this is the original, don't save this one! :pinch:

Angus: Isn't the limit 500 pixels vertically?

cheers, Matt

An easy way for the computer handicaped is to right clcik on the photo and click send to mail recipient it will offer to shrink you pics for you.. click ok then when to email opens copy the pics and paste them where you want. EASY... great for doing batches too...
