How do I change the size of pictures in an email?

I%26#039;m trying to send an email with some picture attachments, but the pictures are too big. How do I change the size of them?|||You%26#039;re going to need some image editing software. I recommend Picasa as it%26#039;s the easiest for the average person:


http://picasa.google.com/


Once that%26#039;s downloaded and installed, let it find all of the pictures on your hard drive. Then, use the interface to resize your pictures and then export them. They won%26#039;t actually be resized until they are exported and the original will maintain its image quality.|||Try Irfanview. It%26#039;s been around for quite a while. It%26#039;s good and free. The program is pretty simple to use.


If you try it once you have it installed do this:





Click File at top of Irfanview then Open to load your picture


Click Image then Resize/Resample


Enter the size you want or pick from one of the Standard dimensions


If you enter a size make sure Keep Aspect Ratio is selected.


Click OK.
