Totally off topic but you can usually get a sensible answer to most things on here.
Basically someone mailed a photo to my pc which is huge 2.6mb to be precise. How do I resize it on the pc to a more sensible size as I want to mail it to someone but my pc says its too big. Hope this makes sense can anyone help me out??

Hello Grass,

I use (and so do many others too) PixResizer.

It's free and really easy to use and can also do a job lot at the same time!

ms paint can do it too. Under image/stretchskew. or ctrl+W

i find 10 to 30% good.

Microsoft PowerToys Image Resizer so easy to use i wouldn't be without it!
Just install it right click on the picture you want to resize and select resize.

has links to a couple of options

Is it a huge file size because it's a massive pic, or becuase it's been saved in an uncompressed format (most probably bmp)? If it's a bmp just open it up in paint or similar and save it as a jpg file.

For some reason its a massive pic!
