How to resize images:

Several BHPians have written in asking for a guide on resizing large pictures down to 500 KB (or less). Here are the simplest ways of going about it:

Option ONE : If you are running Windows XP, download the official Microsoft XP image resizer. Once installed, right click the picture you wish to resize, and choose the "resize pictures" option. On the resultant menu, you may choose dimensions and some other advanced options. Click Ok, and you should see the resized (smaller) picture in the same folder as the original.

OPTION TWO : Open the picture in Microsoft Paint (standard on your Windows OS), then press "Ctrl" & "W". Under "Stretch", enter 50% for the horizontal and vertical fields. Click Save.

OPTION THREE : Download third-party softwares such as the Fast Stone Photo Resizer.
