HI, I am wondering how to resize pictures so they are small enough to add to a message?

I hope someone can help, as a friend has a pic I would like to make into a pillow, and don't want it to take 6 sheets of fabric to print out.
It would become a huge floor pillow. LOL
Her camera has no way to lower the size.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Take care, Karen T

There's also this one.
For this board you can resize them to 480 pixels and it'll be the right size and acceptable.

jayrdi showed me how to do it.
right click on picture
click edit
go to image
click on stretch & skew
change horizontal to 40
change vertical to 40
hit ok and save
then download here on message board, it should be small enough.


p.s. print on paper to see it it's the size you want. play around with hort. & vert. till you get the size you want
