I'm really not an idiot!!:cool: Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cropping and resizing are different things but I did crop before I resized in the case of mine, you need an appication that supports "resizing" not commonly found on basic included photo handlers like windows view or internet explorer. Try it in photoshop or photsuite or corel or.. or ... you need "size" or "resize" and set it to 80x80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbqman Posted June 25, 2004 #3 Share Posted June 25, 2004 AbbyGirl, Most PC's come with Microsoft Paint. If u have that open the program. Load your image, then from toolbar select Image then Attributes. A new panel will open then make your sizing needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GloriaF Posted June 25, 2004 #7 Share Posted June 25, 2004 Thanks to srphnx reminding me that cropping and resizing are different. I have MGI PhotoSuite4 and Camedia 2.5. I prefer photosuite, camedia doesn't do as much -- or if it does it is not as user friendly. I'm going to try to add my photo to my signature....you'll know if it works... NEVERMIND!! I cropped & resized, then sent it to snapfish, then cc said it wasn't in the right format. I thought all of our photos were in jpg format, but I don't have an idea in the world how to format it!

Good luck :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
