In Paint you go to Image - Stretch and basically have to play with it until you get the right size. If you go to Image - Attributes it will tell you the size of the picture.

Theunicornhunter 2 Posted August 7, 2003 When I set up my avatar the program here let me put in dimensions so I didn't have to size it first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xeroc 0 Posted August 7, 2003 Personally, I like Flash or Paint shop pro for my resizing or images. Paint does it too, but not as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VaBeachGuy 12 Posted August 8, 2003 Photoshop 7 is a good one too, but if you don't have any of those programs Paint is your best option. You can also download a program called LView Pro. It is a good, basic photo editor. If you have a pic to shrink though and can't figure it out Just say the word and I will do it for you and I'm sure there's a few other people that would be willing to help out.
