Hi Richard,

I use, "Easy Thumbnails". It's Freeware and only about 1 meg in size. You can download it from numerous places... here's one:

You can specify width / height as well as file size.

easythumbnails works great! very easy for a tuba player who is way less than computer savvy (me).

You can do it with MS-Paint. Find out what size the image actually is with the 'attributes' command. Then figure the percentage of reduction and use the 'stretch/skew' command.
