Could use Photoshop or Photoshop Elements to do this.

....or even just use Paint!!

there's a 'Stretch and Skew' option on the Image menu..... if you want to make it half as many pixels each way, just put in 50% horizontal and 50% vertical.

HTH

cheers dude. done!

Personally i use the Microsoft image resizer powertoy.. available HERE

download and install it. then you can right-click on any picture file, or group of files, select resize, then choose what size, and it does the rest

irfanview from www.irfanview.com is an excellent tool for this sort of thing

cool tool I like it!

I use Mihov image resizer, another freeware tool. It does other things like resize gifs and the like, but I've never used it for anything beyond jpeg resizing.

I've got JASC Paint Shop Photo Album allready installed on the laptop from Dell. Works well and even a numpty like me can use it.
