One freeware utility I use is called Irfanview and it works great. If you download it and have questions on using it, just PM me and I can explain it.

No offense man, I used to drive trucks as well, & I've got a 6L in my backyard that's likely to go into my C-1500 camper rig... You've got a sweet build going, here's one more vote for more pics.


(And yes, Irfanview rocks, great little freeware program...)

There is a re-size / re-sample option under Image about half way down that pops up a new window. All my photos are 4000 x 3000 out of the camera but I make copies and scale them to 500 with the option for Preserve Aspect Ratio checked. This makes them an internet forum friendly size of 500 x375 and reduces them from 4+ MB to around 50K.

I upload them to my own web server, but you could use Photobucket for free if just create an account. I like using my own hosting so I can control / update the pics as necessary, which isn't possible when uploading them to the forum.

Another simple tool is Microsoft's Image Resizer. Look for it on this page.

Once it's installed, you simply right click the image to resize it.

There's a Win 7 version too if you Google it.
