If you have Windows 7 Home operating system, open Windows Live Photo Gallery (which comes with the system). 1. Click on the camera icon in the upper left near the menu bar.
2.Then select and import your photos from your camera or scanner. After they're imported into WLPG, all you have to do to resize is to
3. right click on the photo, select "resize" option,
4. then select "Smaller" option.
Now the photo will be resized and a second instance of the photo appears. The new photo is exactly the right size for e-mail or web. It should be smaller than 1 MB. At this point I delete the huge file to save space on my laptop.
I hope this will help. The instructions my also work on Window XP and/or Vista. It's been too long since i had either of those systems to remember. Good Luck. If something is not clear, let me know and I will try to clarify.
