Re: yahoo pics

David, I have Abobe Photoshop Elements for MAC. Don't know if yours works the same, but might. After you open a picture, the tool bar at the very top is activated. One of the drop down menus is called IMAGE and one of the choices is RESIZE. Then it's just a matter of telling it what you want.

I have renamed the ones I want to keep. My problem is that I have both Microsoft Picture It and Adobe Photo Shop for Idiots and nowhere can I find where to resize the pictures. I can crop, rotate, make a collage but I can't find where to resize. I'm about to load the real Adobe Photo Shop 6 on the computer and see what I can do.

Thanks

Every digital camera comes with sometype of photo
editing program.

First thing to do is save them under another name-
Important step just incase you mess up, you will have
the orginial photos to try again :)

Repeat- save the pictures using a different file name!

Check for two things with your renamed file.... how
large is the printed picture- If it is 30X24, you can
resize to 10X8 or even smaller.

Then find the resolution option. For a computer screen
you don't need 300dpi. Printers default to 105dpi or
you can even use the net standard of 72dpi.

Either or both will dramatically change the size of
the files.

Ok kids, I have the yahoo photo thing down.  Only
problem is that I have five
pics in there and they total almost 4 mb's.  I don't
know how to shrink my
@$^$%@^%&^^%@$%! pics down to a resonable size.
