Resizing an Image on a PC

Post by jerryd6818 »

If you're trying to do this from an Android device, Smart Phone or any Apple product, I'm sorry but you're on your own.

If you're doing it on a PC, it's pretty easy. The simplest method is as follows.

Thanks Jerry - I have a Mac but figured out how to resize it under the tool bar on the "Preview" program.... and haven't even attempted to see if I can do it on my phone but have never posted directly from my phone anyway....

Is this a permanent change now for posting pics? I imagine it saves server space... but no doubt adds an extra step for posting....

I'm just along for the ride. I have no idea where this is going or where it will end up.

Lee, do you think you could start a new thread in this forum, detailing what you've learned about resizing an image on a Mac. I think down the road that would be very helpful for the Mac users.
