howdy
somebody gave me an internet site where i could download a program to convert file types and reduce size ect.ect.
if i could get that or something similar again that would be great because lost the other one

I use Ifranview for resizing pics
It was free......and its o.k for the little bit I do

hey dude what happend with the flywheel thing???

Use Kazaa or something and download a full program....

To make smaller versions of pictures, I use STGthumb -- it's freeware available at http://www.zdnet.com/downloads. This resizes most photo formats into jpgs of any arbitrary size. Jpg is basically the only format you want for the web anyways.

When you resize, make sure to check the option to "keep proportions" (or similar wording) so the picture isn't distorted squshed side to side or top to bottom.

This program doesn't crop (let you cut out a portion of a photo). I use Windows Paint for that, but there are free programs that are easier to use.

In Paint to crop:

1 use the rectangle tool to mark an area, then use the Cut command.
2. Start a new Paint, set the Image Attribute menu to very small (like 32 x 32) and Paste. It'll automatically size up.
