I know this must be simple, but how do I resize an image using Microsoft Paint? I can’t seem to figure it out.
Try CTRL-E, or the Attribute item under the Image menu…
Now that your question has been answered, I think I insert a small hijack: You really don’t want to be using MSPaint. Use The Gimp, it is similar to Photoshop except that it is free.
You will have better luck with Irfanview. If you simply change the size of an image, you will distort it. CTRL-R does the trick.
The Gimp is cool, too. But a little more complicated to use.
Both Irfanview and the GIMP are great for their purposes. Irfanview is quick and easy for resizing and converting formats (batch mode too!), and includes a very nice slideshow facility (including standalone .exe files). On the other hand, it only runs in Windows, and doesn’t do any drawing or pixel editing. The GIMP is available for Linux and Mac machines, and does nearly all that Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro can do, but it’s big and complicated enough to take quite a while to learn. Get both!
