Anyone know how to reduce the size of pics to upload on this site

 

You can use any photo editing program to do so.

However my favourite quick method is to use the "Microsoft Picture Resizer Power Toy". Microsoft has not updated since Windows XP but some people have taken it upon themselves to make an open source versions. It's a quick and simple download:
http://imageresizer.codeplex.com/

It adds a "Resize" option to the right-click context menu of a picture. You can do a single pic, or highly multiple pics. Very easy and quick to use.

 

cant you just use photobucket? it always worked for me on other boards.

 

Thanks Ill give it a shot (not the most savy when it comes to this sort of thing)

 

I use photobucket or MSPaint, MSPaint is very simple selecting resize and adjusting the values.

 

For those with windows XP (still). You can get the powertoy that adds right into the shell for image resizing. Check the Windows Website and search "XP Powertoys"

 

When you use MSpaint it distorts your image if you reduce it by too much.
A good place is luna pic. Its always worked for me perfectly.
check it out right here: http://lunapic.com/editor/

 

Another vote for just using Photobucket. If you have a camera like a Nikon or something to that nature, you also get photo editing tools you can use that work pretty well.

 

thanks guys

 

Anyone know a quick and simple way to downsize photos on a Mac?

 

you can use shrink pictures (.com)
it's free to use and has a bunch of built in standard sizes (as well as custom if you need it)

 

i never knew photobucket had the option, lol but then again i guess i never was looking for that!

I have used lunapic before a long time ago but i think that photobucket would be the way to go

 

I use FastStone Image Viewer, which you can download for free from download.cnet.com

You can do lots of basic photo editing with it, including resizing to a smaller size. I will often tell it to reduce a jpg to 25% of the original size, and the file size shrinks from about 4 MB to something like 200 or 300 KB, typically.

Good luck!

i always use paint and then sketch and skew to resize

 

paint sketch an skew and 50% both horizontal and vertical

 

I usually like to resize with photoshop. Then upload to photobucket.

 

The simplest solution for me is to use Microsoft Office Picture Manager.

>Edit>Resize>Percentage of Original width x height.

Depending on the size of the original you will have to select an appropriate percentage value to get your new file to be within the site's size restrictions.

 

paint. edit. sketch/skew

 

Good thread answered my question without asking lol

 

Photobucket works best for those that didn't get the answer.. lol

 

gimp

 

bump cause im adding pics and need to know two

 

beastin-motorports, theres a few programs listed above for resizing.

i just use Paint. who needs to know the exact pixels anyways, just resize on percentage of the size desired

 

Google+ has also recently added picnics old editing tools to their photo/album editor.
So, you can re size with percentage or actual dimensions.
Incase you're a gmail member.

 

+! on the google+ and paint works as well!
