IRFANVIEW TUTORIAL

Once you have downloaded the software called iview399.exe, then double-click on it, install it, and it will place new icons on your desktop, which include a Splat, a Panda, and a Google Desktop swirl if you decided to include Google Desktop Search (It's quite useful but you need to be online to install it. Be WARNED, it takes up a LOT of your resources, slows your machine down, and even crashed my Mozilla browser. I uninstalled  the Google option). Click on the Splat (Irfanview) and the application will open.

Click on File... open and find the file that you want to resize. Open it. Click on Image... Information to see what size it is currently. Then click on Image... Resize/Resample, find the 'set new size' option and change one of the dimensions. It automatically retains the aspect ratio, and the largets size you can have on the Shelter is 1000 X 1000 and 250K ( I might still change this, 250K is very big) so just change the largest one to 1000 and you're fine. Click on FIle... Save As..., find a place where you will store your current pics, and Save it. Close the file and reopen it (it does not change it's size in the Information section unless you do this) and then Click on Image... Information to make sure it's smaller than 250K.
