I recently acquired a Canon Powershot A510 digital camera . Have Windows XP . When saved the pictures are huge - have to scroll across to see them and this also causes problems for those that I email the pictures to . Could you please tell me how to make them smaller . The photos are stored in Adobe Photoshop Album Starter , edition 3.0. Thank you . Don

Resizing images can be done in just about any image program. But the simplest one that I know of is "IrfanView" (free graphic program).

Once installed, use the Image menu/Resize-Resample command to resize the image. Leave the "Preserve Aspect Ratio" option checked so that the image size is automatically adjusted correctly to prevent changing the image proportions.

The download site for Irfanview is:

You can read a download install tutorial for Irfanview at: This page

I hope this helps!

Another way might be to use the Windows Paint Program ?
Can be found by going to Start>Accessories>Paint
Locate and open the Image Ok?
Now look along the top of the frame and click on Image then on Attributes(on the menu)
This brings up a box where you can reduce the Image size by Pixels, centimetres or inches (is set to Pixels by default)
As you have given no size I cannot estimate how far you can reduce the size. But if it's just to reduce it slightly, I reckon you'll be Ok so long as you don't go too far
Make a copy and send it to yourself to see how others might see this First?
Tell us how you get on?

Thanks Bedstor for your info and also to Dwight . After fiddling around , I downloaded Faststone and eventually through trial and error ( with the emphasis on error ! ) was finally able to resize the pictures.
