I'm not sure if this has been done before, but i see alot of people on diff threads complaining about huge pictures, so i decided to just make a simple resizing tutorial.

I'm going to start from after uploading a picture.
So, say you have a big ass picture, but you can't crop it without distorting the pixels and stuff, heres a basic way to do this.

Thats my desktop picture, 1024x768 right? well, that's gigantic for a normal picture. so, how do we get that, to this:

first, open the file you want IN PAINT (Right click the image.)

Click the dotted star to get the resizing tool off the image.
Then Click the dotted rectangle in the top left side.
Right click ON the image you have, select Stretch/skew. ONLY PUT THE NUMBERS IN STRETCH. skew does something you don't need.
IF you mess up, just ctrl+z (undo).
Depending on how big the image is, you may have to put smaller numbers in. but i'm going to put in 50%. so it'll cut the image of my desktop in half

And that's basically it.
Then just use a video hosting site (I.E, photobucket, flikr, tinypic) and upload it.

Or just let photobucket or tinypic do it for you by selecting the size you want, instead of just bypassing the whole thing.

photobucket kills the pic with its compression

go to flickr, click all sizes, and then get the link for the medium size.
