I have fineally received some photos from my sister that I am using for .....something....
any way, they need shrinking some how but my email bisso isnt doing anything. My sister is computer illiterate and asking her to edit them before sending is like asking her to refloat the titanic.

They arent an attachment either. I cant seem to save them, they wo'nt print, cant seem to shrink them, What can I do????? Help please.. :pray:  these pics are important to me. and yes it is bear related.

Wendy: this is blind leading the blind here,  but Quy (the Teddy Talk Technical support person) sent me this link to understand about posting....This may help.....

And Patty from Baronebears sent me this:

Here's an easy powertoy I use for resizing photos.  Click on this link and download.  Then whenever you right click on a photo, you will have the option to "resize photo".  Click on that and you will get a window that gives you size options.  I use small or handheld sizes for posting here.  It's free, easy and quick.

Wendy, were they inserted into an email from your sister?  Try right-clicking on the picture, then "save picture as"  then save it where you want. 

The easiest way to resize pictures is to download the microsoft picture resizer powertoy.  Here's the link:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/ … ySetup.exe

After downloading and installing the resizer all you have to do is right click on any pic and choose "resize picture".  The "Small" size works great for posting on TT.

Hope this helps.

I clicked on the link in the above post and it took me right to the download of the resizer.  Should work for you.

I've been using this powertoy for years.  It's so handy.  You don't have to import a picture into a photo editing program to resize.  Just right click!!!

PATTY! You should have come by a wee bit earlier. I have just done as you have said and it worked a trick.
I have emailed my sister and asked if she would edit her photos infuture for emailing. She will send me bankrupt if she sends me anymore this size. Cheeky begga she is bear_grin
powertoy aye? so that was what I needed.
Thankyou ever so much for the help.  :hug:  bear_thumb

Michelle Michelle Michelle, thanks for the company :hug:  I have it all fixed now.
Next week you will get to see what all this fuss was about.(big cheesy grin) bear_grin

Patti .... what a neat toy - thanks. So much easier than opening a photo editor and you can do a whole bunch at once in Explorer.

Wendy!! Im having dejavu...your computer troubles are just like mine....what a relief to know I am not the only one flying by the seat of their pants...I close my eyes and do a click, click, click and hope on a wing and a prayer I got it right (which I usually don't)! So cheer up...you'll get it....
