Resizing Images

All images on Drawspace must be resized.
There are many ways to do this. For myself I use my camera program to resize.
Other people use Photoshop, their scanner program or download programs specifically for resizing.

I have found this online image resizer to get you started.

Step one - Click browse to find your picture in your files.

Step two - pick portrait 450x600 or landscape 600x450 ( depending on the orientation of your picture.)
On this step you can rotate your picture, if needed. Check the box and then pick the rotation that you need.

Step three - click Okay and wait.

Now check your new image data, the file size should be below 200kb.

At this time you can crop your picture.

Left mouse click (hold and drag) on the crop box to move it around.
Hold the shift key & left mouse click (hold and drag) to change size of the crop box.
Select the part on your image that needs cropping, and press 'Crop it' when done to crop.

Now it is time to save your resized picture.

Right click on the picture, pick save image as, then pick the folder you want to save your resized image in and click Save.


Do Not save your resized image over top of your original image.
I keep a folder with resized images in it. That way it doesn't get mixed up with my original full sized image. A lot of information was lost with the resizing. It still looks good but would not look so great printed out or kept over time.
