Open the picture in Publisher and left click the Crop button on the Picture toolbar. This will give you a pointer that resembles a pantograph. Now...drag the edges of the picture to create the shape you require. Portions of the picture will be lost. When you are satisfied with the shape... right click the picture and choose...Save As Picture... If you need more info...search Publisher Help for "Crop A Picture". John Inzer -- John Inzer |

Resizing Picture
Yes, Crop actually works, but alass it doesn't "resize" the photo except by
taking parts away. When the cropped photo is saved, it is saved in the cropped version, not the original. Saving a resized jpg only saves the original un-resized format. This is one of the most important functions in web publishing. It is rare indeed that one can scan a photo and the default size works on a web site. As expected irfanview works perfectly with no bugs detected. "John Inzer" wrote in message . ..

*Another thought* Resizing Picture
For simple and quick resizing...even in batches...
OK, go to the following link and download and install: ImageResizer.exe http://tinyurl.com/2meyw or... http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...powertoys.mspx Then you can open any folder that contains images and you will have an option to resize. Just right click the selected image files and choose Resize Pictures from the menu. You can select one image or a whole group. The program will place the resized copies in the folder with your originals. (Tip: *Never* overwrite your originals) To insure that images in both portrait and landscape orientation are resized to the same dimensions...go to...Advanced... and enter the largest number in both fields. IOW...for 600x800...enter 800 in both fields. -- John Inzer ================================== Dale Gibble wrote: Yes, Crop actually works, but alass it doesn't "resize" the photo except by taking parts away.
