How do I resize my digital photos?

It's very simple. You can use Adobe Photo Shop and use the image size command, if you're familiar with that. Most of your emailing programs, though, have the ability to resize the picture. So, on AOL or EarthLink when you drag a picture in it will ask you "you want to send this as an email size picture or you want to send it full size resolution." Always check that email size. The program I use is ACDC and there is a function right on there so, when select a picture I can hit "email the picture" and immediately size is at the right size, 4 or 5 kilobytes. So when I send it everybody loves the pictures. It just depends on what your software you're using. Some of the cameras today, most of the Nikon cameras today have an email size function for it. So you can actually tell it when you're downloading the pictures to download two pictures: one at full resolution and one at email size. It all depends on what options you're using. It's really a hard question to answer in this kind of a form because there are so many ways to do it. You can do it manually. You can do it automatically. It just depends on what software and hardware you're using.
