STILL COMPUTER ILLITERATE

Question: So, I write a thread and I want to Attach one simple photo which is sitting nicely in my PC, but the photo original in the data base is way larger than the 800 x 800 allowed to Attach it to a s-b thread. How do I change or download this photo to a smaller size without destroying or editing the original data base?

Windows Vista. Zoombrowser. EOS utility. All this sounds like a foreign language to me. I think I'll turn this fangled thing off and go back to the beach...I'm more in my element.

Bonds,

Sauerkraut

I am no expert but i think you have to use a program to resize the photo, this is done and then you rename the resized photo so you now have 2 sizes of the same pic so name them different names.

then you can upload it to a post

maybe one of the geeks can explain better

files

computers don't let you save the same named file
in the same folder...it has to be slightly different
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unless ...
to do this.... you add an A or B after the name
or call it something completely different
~
or you create a new folder to save it in...

just right click an empty spot on your desktop screen

and select new (new what?) folder

and then name it

otherwise it's called "new folder" by default
