Resizing a Photo 

Note:  This is not meant to be a thorough tutorial, but rather an example of the process with some available software.  Please consult your software's help file or manual for more detailed information.

There are several reasons why you'll want to resize your photos before uploading them to the forum:

• - They'll be small enough to show up on the screen in their entirety.
• - The smaller file size will increase the loading speed.

Most digital cameras come with basic software that will resize photos.  Check that option, along with any other photo editing software you may have.  If you don't have the appropriate software, you can download a free package from www.irfanview.com.
