Editing Picture Question

[sundown]

I mentioned in an earlier post how I had a camera stolen and was looking for another one..Took the excellent advice of Birddog and Chalk, they seem to know a little bit about anything and everything, and bought a Kodak easy share...6.1` pixels or something.
Question is, how do you go about editing the size of pictures? When I down load em to computer they're like 1400 kbs. I been right clicking and hitting the edit button. then going to images stretch/skew and downsizing them like that to try to get them to less than a hundred kb. Is there an easier way through the kodak software you can do this ??
Took some pictures this afternoon birdhunting I wanted to downsize and when I did the pictures lost a lot of the detail....

I have inserted a link to Picture Resizer. Its a free power tool from Microsoft. You just right click on the picture in your file folder, and slect rezier. Follow the instructions on the link.

I use photobucket.com to upload my photos and just use their edit function to reduce the size of my photos.

Sometimes Chalk forces me to crop my pictures in Corel before I upload them. Says I'm showing to much detail in the background.

Download Picasa from Google. It is very easy to use.

Kodak software will allow you to crop the pictures....Then you can upload to photobucket and resize them to 4 different sizes...All you have to do is click the IMG bar and it automatically copies it to your clipboard. Then you can past into a message (Ctrl V)

Had the best luck so far with the MS site Suber posted... Gonna keep trying with the others.

There's a couple of nice freeware programs out there for photo-editing. Three I like are IrfanView, XNview and PhotoFiltre. Photofiltre is especially nice for freeware - it comes with lots of commands and options but its menu driven and not to hard to learn.
