For Your Lawn Pictures......
Many of you guys take pictures of your lawns or landscaping, or at least you should. But I have read many posts where people don't know how to shrink them down properly for posting here, or on their website.
This is sweet. Here is a VERY easy program to use if you have Windows XP. It is made by Microsoft and it's FREE! It is very small to download, like 500Kb. Takes less than 2 minutes even on dial up.
Go to the site listed below....
Okay, over on the right hand side, you see a list of small programs. You want "IMAGE RESIZER". Click to download, then double click the icon on your desktop and it will install it.
Here's the beauty, now you can right click on any picture you have, and you see a command that says "Resize Picture" click that, and BOOM, you pick the size and it does it in about 1 second. AND, it saves the new file with the same picture name but adds (small) to it so you know it's been shrunk. It doesn't overright the original unless you want.
OH, and the best part? You can do 100 at one time...or more!!!
For this website, you want no bigger than 640x480 when you post them. For smaller shots on your website, 240x320 is okay, but then allow them to click to the larger 640x480 size..
I use a different program because I do a little sharpening after shrinking, but this program does a good enough job, and quickly. I use it quite a bit now.
