When paint comes up click on resize on the toolbar click on pixels choose 300 to 325 pixel on the long side. think that does it and when you go to close paint and it asks to save hit yes It took me longer to type that than resize one.. @ nomad you could do a pic in the time it took to bitch but you do what you want you're a grown man.

With esteemed membership comes a tad of self participatory accommodation...otherwise known as work.

My friend - I just retired yesterday. I've since become highly allergic to work.

Look for the "PowerToysSetup-0.18.2-x64.msi" link on the releases page (or whichever is the current most recent version)
https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/releases/

After installing, you just right click on the image and select "Resize Pictures" in the menu, as demonstrated in the product page: https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/ ... ageresizer

Very quick and easy.

Public just means people can comment on them, sometimes rudely. I just upload my pics and keep them private where I can choose which ones I might want to share on forums or emails.

Click on the photo you've uploaded and you'll notice a menu on the right side of the pic. On the bottom is "sizes". I usually select "huge thumbnail". Then just copy the link for boards ( second one up from the bottom) and even if your pics are huge like the ones that my camera takes. Up to 8 mb,
They are sized perfectly for forums.

I have plenty of work. I stop in here between emergencies when my back hurts too much from fixing my flooded house or my wife's emu emergencies or my kids rental house broken pipe. I dont need another job. I come here to relax and for fun.
Sure I can do it but when 2 steps becomes 7 it just doesn't happen. So far I've wanted to post 30 pics. I think I've posted 5 or 6. Tried a shortcut to save steps and half the people cant see it. It's like a bridge that's missing the middle 20 ft. All that work but 20 ft is just a big jump.
How much of a donation to fix this problem?
Btw this is outstanding what you pulled off here? Sorry about being bitchy. My back is killing me and I'm trying to get a new band together and it turns out alot more water got in there than I thought so no I'm tearing it all up and running fans because I'm sure if someone smells mildew they'll have a mold freakout and that's the end.

Adding pics is easy. Click on the button for the FULL Editor and just click on the "Attachments" tab. Piece of pie...slice of cake.
