	Photo Question
sirbooks Moderator Sociopath Posts: 3875 Kudos: 5164 Votes: 932 Registered: 26-Jul-2004	Is there a good way to reduce the size of an image without trimming it down? I tried to submit a picture to a profile, but it was much too big. I chopped off 'unecessary' parts, and very little remained of the original picture. Is there any way that I can shrink the file size of a picture without cutting it up? And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

Go to image --> Stretch/Skew --->Then type equal smaller percenteges into the two boxes. I generally start at about 75% and work from there. It takes a little practice I admit, but not that hard.

If you dont have XP contact me PM and I will give you a E/m to send it to me and I will see what I can do with the photo. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/default.mspx Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

Problem is, the site doesn't seem to like it. If you go into the profile, the image shows up as an X. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir!
