Creating a New Folder and Resizing Your
Photo's Using Microsoft Paint
Microsoft Paint is a windows
imaging application that comes preinstalled on most windows systems. The
following are simple steps on how to resize a picture for use on your
website by using Microsoft Paint.
Before continuing, we suggest you take a
moment and create a folder on your desktop name "My Website".
All of your images and text (in Microsoft Word) should be save there
just in case you delete something by mistake.
Creating a New Folder
Once your "New" folder shows up on your desktop you
will need to rename your folder "My Website"
Resizing Your Photo's Using Microsoft
Paint
Step 1 open Microsoft Paint & click the "File" button
on the toolbar. Then select "Open" from the dropdown menu.
Step 2 Locate your image, if you dont see it, make sure
you have the "File Types" set to "All files".
Step 3 shows a full size image of your
photo
Step 4 Now click "Image" then choose the "Stretch/Skew"
option
Step 5 Here you will see the "Stretch/Skew" window. To
shrink the photo, give the "stretch" property any percentage under
100%. Make sure the horizontal & vertical percentages both match
or you will distort the photo.
Step 6 Here you will see the photo resized.
Step 7 Now you can Save it overwriting the original larger
photo, or you can rename it. If you rename it select
"Save as" & keep both photos, the larger & resized photos. Make sure you
save it in "My Website" folder.
We hope this easy step by step will help
you. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
