photo to big

i `ve been trying to upload a pic to a auction site but
it say`s it`s to big how do you make it a smaller picture
(file).i have window xp.also kodak es.

you have to be able to open the picture in some photo
editor to resize it. Even the one that comes with windows,
or a 3rd party one, like photo shop, paint shop, picture
it, etc.
When you open the file in that application, you can find
the resize command. Re-size the picture, then save it back
to the same file name and location.
Try to resend it.
Usual sizes for graphic files are
800x600
1024x768
640x480

the smaller the numbers, the smaller the resulting
filesize, but the worse the resolution and quality of the
picture you send. IT's a compromise.

Jpg files are the best choice to move files for email,
websites, etc.

hope that helps.

I guess you're running WinXP or you wouldn't
be here...right?

OK, go to the following link and download and
install: ImageResizer.exe

http://tinyurl.com/36n

Then you can open any folder that contains
images and you will have an option to resize.
Just right click the selected image files and
choose Resize Pictures. You can select one
image or a whole group.

The program will place the resized copies in
the folder with your originals.

BTW...when resizing if you go to...Advanced
Button / Custom...and enter 640 in each field...
that will be a good size for e-mail purposes.
