How do I edit pics for forum use?

[Dogmatix]

Hey.

I don't have Photoshop of any discription.
Only Paint and MMP (Mircosoft Media Player)

Could someone take the time to explain how I can edit the pics down so I put them up on here?

Cheers

You will probably need some sort of image editing program, Google Picassa is free and meant to be pretty good, or you probably got something with your camera.

Have you checked the tutorials section? There's something in there on how to prepare images for here.

Or you could use Microsoft Picture Manager. Just right click on the picture in windows and select "open with.. " on the menu. From there you should see Microsoft Picture Manager, so select that. The picture will open up in that software and you will find some basic editing controls which will help you crop, resize, export etc. It's quick and easy and what I use in here.
Hope that helps?
