Image Resizing Help
PICTURE HELP - Many times people try to upload pictures from their cameras but run into problems where an image won't upload at all, takes too long to upload or is breaks up the page because its display size is too big. All of those problems are caused because the file size and/or physical dimensions are too large. http://www.picresize.com has a simple online image resizing and cropping tool that can alleviate those problems.
Hint: To select a square area when using the cropping tool, hold down your shift key while clicking & dragging in Step 1.
If need to make a square image, select Custom Size in Step 2 then enter the same amount in each of the boxes that appear and select "Pixels" in the two drop-down boxes.
If your original image is slightly out of focus, selecting Sharpen in Step 3 can help.
