how do you shrink photos to send on e-mails attachments?

Answer 1

You open the picture in "Paint". Paint will be in your start menu under Accessories. Then you click on "Image" from the menu bar, then "Stretch and Skew" then change the numbers from 100x100 to whatever size you would like. However! if you change it to 50x50 and it is still too big and you go back in it will still say 100x100. This means now that you have shrunk it that is the current size and if you shrink it again by half, it will be half of half of the original (not a typo) If that makes any sense. Don't worry if you mess it up you can just exit without saving it and start over. Also once you get it to the right size, hit "save as" under "file" and either save as a new picture name and keep the original or replace the original with this new sized picture. Good luck!

Answer 2

Usually I will zip them. That will reduce them pretty good without loosing the quality. If you are not as worried about the quality you can copy and paste them into a word document. Then zip that document - it should shrink them down even more. Good luck.

Answer 3

If they are bitmap images (with a .bmp extension) it would reduce the filesize if you opened them with Microsoft Paint and saved them as .JPGs. This would reduce the file size from a couple of megabytes to around 100 kilobytes, without losing much resolution.
