hey, i recenty started a website and now i need to add pictures. How do i resize and change pixle size?

Question

FROM MY WEB HOST:
Email me 4 pictures to replace the 4 images on the splash screen. They will need to be 578x383 pixels and named intro-image1.jpg, intro-image2.jpg, intro-image3.jpg, intro-image4.jpg. These will be the images your website visitors see as they enter your site.
Make a copy of these images and resize them to 266x130 and name them header-left1.jpg, header-left2.jpg, header-left3.jpg, header-left4.jpg. These will become the images on the top (banner) section of all of your internal pages. You can always add applications later.

How do i do this?? please help me...

Answer 1

Your going to need an image editing program that has the capability to show you the size of your photos in pixels. Sometimes you get image editing software that comes with a camera or something but a lot of times that is not software that has such a specific capability. You can crop and cut but you don't necessarily know what size your image is once you are done.

A program such as Photoshop will allow you to change your image sizes and will measure in formats of inches, centimeters, milimetres, or pixels depending on what you specify. However, such image editing software is really pricey usually running over $700 for a new program. My advice to you would be to find a friend or someone willing to help you who already has such software and can make the image size changes for you. Otherwise you may be able to contact a print house or graphics designer and maybe they can do it for you for a fee. I really don't know what other solution there may be.

The resizing you want is not equal percentages of width and height, so you will need to go into an image-editor and crop the images to size, deciding yourself which parts of the images to crop off, then build html and/or css to place the images properly
