Hi' all.
Could someone please tell me how to resize photographs. My friend was sent
a few photos via email and they are all large raging from 576KB & some a
bit smaller but not much, and she asked me how to resize them. I'm not
very familiar with photos and I have only enlarged them in the past I
think, it's been a while since I did it. Also I am not very computer savvy
just know a little bit more than my friend. She didn't have any software
so I downloaded "Irfanview" on her computer and she wanted 6x4 inches but
no matter what I did I couldn't get 6x4inches it kept jumping back to a
different number, I managed to get 7x5 but not sure how I did it now. My
friend has the starter program of Adobe photo shop and found 6x4 but it
would not print on her Hewlett Packard. I had a practise on my computer
with Grandview as I have a photo in my pictures that is 576KB but I don't
understand the pixel measurements which is 1188x1848 for that size. I
either ended up with a tiny photo or a large one. I have Canon software as
well but again the pixels and cm have me confused, not sure what the
equivalent is and even if I did it jumps back to what it wants. I would
appreciate any advice and sorry to sound so dumb.
Regards,
Cassie
Have a look at www.scantips.com Pixels and things are well explained
there, or try reading the Help Files in one of your Photo Programs.

This is easy, but writing a quick set of instructions for a photo program I
am not familiar with, would be rather difficult.
