Ok, so I'm computer illiterate.
My pictures are stored on my puter at 365kb, how am I supposed to shrink that to the required 50kb that I need for my rig pics?
I'm using the standard "my pictures" file with windows xp.
Any plain english instructions much appreciated.
Thanks
Pezza

right click on the picture and you should get a menu with 'edit' on it.
click on edit and the picture will open in the 'paint' program.
On the menu bar at the top of the screen, choose the 'image' drop down menu and then the 'stretch/skew' option.
If you enter 10% for the horizontal and vertical values it will shrink the picture a lot. You will probably have to do it a second time to get the size you want.
Select the Save As option and Change the name of the picture. If you just use Save you will lose the original picture
There are most probably other ways to do it but I find this the easiest.

Max size for upload to the site is 400x400 pixels
to make your
pic this big:
open your picture by right-clicking it, and hit edit, or open with> Microsoft Paint
hit Ctrl + A to select all, then Ctrl + C to copy the picture
click File>New
Click Image > Attributes> set the width and height to 400 > OK
press Ctrl + V to paste, select "no" when it asks if you'd like the bitmap enlarged.
Drag the dotted outline's corner in the
grey area so it becomes the same size as the visible picture.
File > Save As > Save as type: JPG > save ans upload.
