I will collect both in case. I need to send that in as an author picture to a magazine. My wife is writing an article for them.

MS paint works fine.

Exactly how is it inadequate for resizing an image? Click a button, enter a number, you're done...

Kuci, you can't alter the resolution in MS Paint.

btw pchang, by rights, an image for printing, even if the image in the magazine is small, the resolution should be at least 300, NOT 72! 72 is for the screen.

The proper way to do this, is to import the full size image, with the highest resolution available directly into the publishing application and resize it accordingly there. This way the print will come out very nice.

Ok, ok. Here's another resizer/reformat program.
It's free. It's easy. It gives these people something else to argue about.

I use Snagit, not free, but used this before.

Well that's odd..

Weird question, pchang. It's backwards.

Why don't you just send them the 300 dpi version? Reducing the acuity (dpi) of a graphic is best saved for the final stages of production. And it's easy. Even though the Web is only 72 dpi, images look demonstrably better online when you start with hi-res and optimize from there.

Presumably your wife is writing for an online publication -- but that doesn't mean they can't take 300 dpi files. And my guess is, their webmonkeys would prefer the better image.

They may prefer a lower res image to save on disk space? And to save work for their webmonkeys?
