Resizing images in Win 7

OK; if your needs (or desires) are such that you need a commercial
utility, fair enough. OP just wanted to resize.

ever want. Images resized or saved in others are sometimes never as
good. they just don't "compile" the image as "smoothly".

I'll take your word for that.

There are quite a few people who don't understand resizing images. One
such is the originator of this thread.

A pixel is a pixel on the screen and resolution does not come into it.
Sure the quality comes in when compressing an image then expanding it
will degregate the image but you still don't loose pixels.

[You might lose them though, rather than loose them (-:.] The problem -
or one of many - is that people don't make clear what they mean by
"resize": do they mean reducing the number of pixels, the size of the
file, both, or something else again? (Actually, I think the OP said he
wanted the images to appear smaller on his screen: assuming he is
therefore not using a zooming utility or whatever to view them, i. e.
viewing them at one pixel to the pixel, then he _does_ mean reducing the
size in pixels.)

My camera creates images of about 4 MB each. This is too big for
e-mailing them, and I often need to send a whole batch of them.

As directed by the Help in Win 7, I have tried resizing the photos using
the Win 7 Paint Program. However, if I reduce the number of pixels, I
also reduce the size of the image as it appears on my monitor.

How can I reduce the file size of the image, while leaving the image
dimensions unchanged? I realize that this procedure would reduce the
quality of the image because it would reduce the number of pixels. That
is OK.

How can I reduce the file size without reducing the image (photo) size
on my monitor. Maybe I need a different program than MS Paint?

Thanks

Picasa works well for that.

Picasa works well for that.

Or one could use IrfanView and not have Google Inc. looking over your
shoulder.
