Resizing Picture

[Dale Gibble]

I am trying to resize a picture and it seems that nothing happens. I am
using pixel dimension. Even though I change to 150 pixels and save it. The
saved picture is 350 pixels. I have upgraded to sp3 what else can I do?

Have you tried to resize the photo in something like Picture Manager first?

Do you mean to say that the resize function of Publisher 2003 does not work?

The problem I have with irfanview is that my source picture is not square
and I need a 150 x 150 pixel shot for the web page. How do I crop it and/or
square it up?

No, she's saying that an image editor is the tool to use.

Part of the problem is that Publisher was never meant as a photo editing
program. We get a bit accustomed to doing things within a program and forget
that sometimes we are not using the right tool for the job.

From my side of the $$$ expensive software, Microsoft put in a function that
is broken. It would be nice if just once I could depend of a Microsoft
product to work with ALL the features that were programmed.

The problem with the rubber band box is that it takes a LOT of time to get a
square box. Where is the snap to grid feature?

Yes, Crop actually works, but alass it doesn't "resize" the photo except by
taking parts away. When the cropped photo is saved, it is saved in the
cropped version, not the original. Saving a resized jpg only saves the
original un-resized format. This is one of the most important functions in
web publishing. It is rare indeed that one can scan a photo and the default
size works on a web site. As expected irfanview works perfectly with no
bugs detected.

I like it! This is a full featured program. Many thanks.
