Louisville Photographic Society

 Using Picasa:

Set up a folder to receive the re-sized photo, click on the photo, go to “Export To Folder”, browse to find the folder you set up, resize to 1024 pixels, choose image quality of  “Normal”  and click OK.  This will give you the correct ppi and the photo will be less than 1 MG.

HELPFUL HINT - To double-check the size of a photo (or anything else), right click on the start button, and choose “Explore.”  This gives you a “tree” of everything in your computer.  Find the photo, right click on it, and choose properties.  

 Using Elements or Photoshop:

With the photo open, click on Image (top of window) and choose resize > resize image (or Image Size).  Set the resolution to 120, and the widest part of your photo (either width or height) to 1024 pixels in pixel dimension.  Click OK.

 Using Microsoft “Paint”:

With the photo open, click on Image (top of window) > Stretch/Skew and type in 30% for horizontal and 30% for vertical.  To check the image size, go to Image > Attributes.  The longest side should be around 1024 pixels.  If not, re-size it again, going to 95% of what you have.

Using something else?  Click on “Help” at the top of the window and search for (or type in the “Index”) the word     resize.
