3) The result is a new e-mail message (I use Thunderbird so it probably looks different from yours, but the essence is still the same); you can save the attachments to a folder on your hard disk by dragging them or whatever, and you shouls end up with for

I always download all my pictures onto the computer and then use corel photo house to crop and size them. Corel is pretty easy to use too, if I can figure it out anyone can.. now for me to figure out how to hold my camera still enough that I don't get blury pics :) :)

I use Microsoft Image resizer.
I just right click on the pic and choose Resize pictures. I can make them small 640 x 480, medium 800 x 600 and large 1024 x 768.
:winks: Raelene :yes:

I myself use Photoshop, it resizes really nicely and uses Imageready's 'save for web' options, which are great. Still, might be a bit expensive for just re-sizing pictures. That method I described above was me trying to figure out how to resize pictures without any 'external' help, like, for instance, Photoshop...
