right click on the pic and you will see a drop down list
you will see one of the list says 'open with'
click on this
then open with paint

once open you should be able to resize it by dragging the sides of the pic

hope this is what you meant or I will look stupid

do you have windows photo viewer
if so open the pic with that
i have it on my lap top and i can open pics with that and its give you and arrow so you can make pics big or small

Photoshop did it.

Gonna be slow and tedious.

I will see if I have that windows viewer . If I don't, I'll see about loading it.

Thanks, Beautiful!!

I use http://www.irfanview.com.
Select ALL applications when prompted.

Then, whenever you click on ANY picture
on your computer, you get an edit bar
that can resize.

It does many other useful things also :-)

I can't help but think
It's usually something else men are trying to get resized

What if I ran Mr. Johnson through the scanner?

cool
I do all my listings via desktop.

I want to list vegetable seeds on some sites.

The site tells me it has to be 500 on the large side? Whatever that means.

Any clues?

I get the pictures off the site I get the seeds from.

Thanks in advance.

The best part about Irfanfiew for what you are trying to do is:
you can tell it the EXACT number of pixels you actually want the picture to be - it will keep the aspect ratio, or not, depending on what you need/want/looks best :)

Also, I believe what soufiehere meant was choose all image extensions when you're installing it initially. This means that most every pic on your computer will be opened by Irfanview. It's a hellava lot simpler that Photoshop, as well as less "robust" so it works with amazing Speed.
