New on the block

I am just trying to figure out how to post threads on this forum. Love to deer hunt and have lots of good pics from deercams to share if I can ever figure out how to do it.

Can't wait to see the pics

He is some instructions on resizing pictures

You have a program called "PAINT" on your computer already.

RESIZING Pictures

Download your picture from your camera to your computer and save them in a folder, where you know where they are. Best place is in "My Documents", and inside the "My Pictures" folder.
Go to your picture folder on your PC where the picture/pictures are stored.
Right click on the picture, then
(left click) on Open with "Paint"
Then, up top in the toolbar:
left Click on "Image"
left Click on "stretch/skew"
When the box comes up, change your height and width from 100% to 40% or 50% and then "left click" on "OK".

Let's say you chose 50%, and the picture isn't quite small enough yet.
You need to first undo, what you just did by clicking on "EDIT" and then "UNDO"

Then you can go back to "STRETCH/SKEW" and try maybe 40% or 30%.

................

If you want to keep one picture of the original size for future developing and one of the downsized for the web, click on "FILE" and then "SAVE AS"... then re-name your picture and choose save as .jpg and designate which folder you want to save it in so you know where it is.

When naming pictures, don't leave spaces between words or numbers.
example: mooseNov2006

It's that easy

REFORMATTING PICTURES:

If you are just reformatting pictures, from , let's say a, a BITMAP file, to a JPEG (.jpg) file, to upload to the internet, jut open your picture in "PAINT", click on "FILE" and then "SAVE AS", choose "JPEG (.jpg)" and designate which folder you want to save it in so you know where it is.

When naming pictures, don't leave spaces between words or numbers.
example: mooseNov2006 or moose_Nov_2006
