Default Resizing Question - Help Please!

I need help resizing an image of a card I scanned. I have an HP1315, and the photo program I have is, Microsoft Picture It! Photo Premium 9. I have scanned a few cards and they are about 372KB! Both the scanner and the program are new, so I am all thumbs! :oops:

Thanks!
Jodi

Jodi - I'm not at home so I'm not sure if this is right or not, but I think my program is Picture It!

When I save my pictures with "save as", I have a drop-down selection for HIGH compression. When I use this, the file is automatically smaller. HTH.

You might try opening the picture in your picture program and then clicking on EDIT (probably across the top left-hand side of the page) and see if there is a RESIZE option.

I just did this and now I have a cute avatar...even if it is my sis's cat!

I have an older version of Microsoft Picture It, and when I click on "Format" on the task bar, that's where I find the resize option.

Also, you could click on Help and type in resize and see what information you get there.

Good luck.

When you originally scan the card, try scanning it at a lower resolution- try 72 or 75 DPI.

I haven't used Picture It, but look under edit and see if there's a resize option...if I were a programmer, that's where I'd put it.

Compression is a good thing, too, but it won't change the actual size of the picture, just the file size (does that make any sense?). It's like taking a pillow and squeezing all of the air out....it's still a pillow, just a flatter pillow of the same size.
