Resizing your photos for emails

Its useful when sending images in emails, to be able to resize them first. So here are some guidelines of how to do this using the popular windows "PAINT" programme.

​Upload your photos to a folder on your computer library.
Open windows PAINT and click on the blue box ( shown upper left)
Click on the icon which says "open"

The next pop up window will show  a selection of your photo images.

Select the one you want, and click "open"

​Once the image is displayed on your screen, 
click the option on the menu bar which says " Resize" and "Skew"

​The box will prompt you to select how you want to Resize your image; by Percentage or Pixels.
If sending photos, do not put enter a value higher than  "2000" into one of the boxes.
This is because Photos that are too small will not show enough useful detail. 
The computer will automatically add the corresponding value.

Click "Okay" at the foot of the window to complete the command.

The image will now appear smaller on the screen.
Click the blue box top left of your screen and select "Save as" from the pop - up window.


Save as a J.Peg, and you can now re- name your photo with its new size, 
for example: Lilies 2000 x 1000.

 And that should be it!
