Paint

[annonymous]

When I make a Print of a Window, which I want to Save As I transfer it to
Paint and save it from there. Normally these are of a size that I can easily
insert as a Picture in emails, since some computers will now not accept
emails with attachments.

When I Print Screen for the same purpose e.g. a web page it is too large to
insert as a Picture into an email.

Which way do I reduce the size of Print Screen I transfer to Paint, so that
I can use it for the purpose I intended?

In Paint, image, stretch and skew, input identical numbers into the stretch dialog.

Many thanks for the instruction. It works, the only problem is that when I
reduce the size of the image in Paint, say from 100 to 50 the result is
unreadable. Is there a way of reducing the overall size but not loosing the
ability to decipher details?

You might try reducing in smaller increments - I've found Paint tends
to lose the resolution if you try to reduce too much all at once.
