Resizing pictures and reducing size thru windows

this guide will teach you how to resize pictures you took thru windows without using some 3rd party image editing softwares

in this guide you'll learn:
-how to resize image size
-reduce image file size for better distributing

i'll use my recently posted picture as a reference

1. select which image size you want to edit:

-right click on the file of the image and select properties
you'll see some information like size, date modified/created/accesed

*notice the picture above is 260kb in size and 1280x960 in resolution
now the image is too big for some people to send specially if you're on a dial up
connection it will take ages.

2.close the properties page and right-click again on the file select open with..>Paint

*MSPAINT will now be opened with your selected image you'll notice how big the image is


3. now to resize the image. on mspaint click image>sketch/skew



*a dialog box will appear now let's choose 50% for both horizontal and vertical

*notice the image shrinks its size 50%

4.save the image in your desired location,then now check the image size


*noticed the image size got smaller? it's not 31.6kb compared to 260kb
the resolution got smaller too by 50%

now you can resize image size depends on how small you want.

thanks for reading my first guide.. more to come soon! =)
