scaling photos down to go on a website?

[brock7105]

Im hoping there is someone here that can help me. I am trying to upload some photos to my new website and cant figure out how to upload a smaller resolution pic? Ive done it before when uploading to Photobucket as there was a selection of sizes to choose from but now I cant work it out. I am using the standard Canon editing software if that is of any help? I realise that this is probably very easy to do but for the life of me I cant figure it out

Hi Brock, not sure about the Canon software (which most will tell you to dump anyway) but the vast majority of image editing programs have a menu along the top of the screen, one of those will be "image" click image then select "resize" then in the pop up screen that follows enter the required dimensions.

Download eazy thumbnail (free) it's ideal for this sort of thing, quick and easy to use as well. Edit it wont let me post a link because the company name is f o o k e s Wayne

You can also use phpThumb to handle the thumbnailing for you if you're technically minded. It's what I use on my website.
