Admittedly, I'm posting this as a link for me to point to when someone asks how to post a picture. Been a few requests as of late.
So many of the existing posts point to off-site Resizing programs, and it's simpler than that.

Maximum picture size on HD is 800x800 pixels
To resize:
Open your picture in MSPaint
Click Resize
Click Pixels
Change LARGER number to 800
Leave Maintain aspect ratio checked
Do Save As and remember new name

To post on HD:
At bottom of your post, click Upload attachment
Browse for your resized photo, and click Add the file
Add a comment if you want
Put cursor where you want picture to display in your post, and click Place inline

Sticky worthy.

Great job Still Life.

Thanks.

We have several threads on posting but I agree this is well written. If you use an iPad there are several good apps. I use SimpleResize very easy.

I do a lot of digital graphics but had to check to see if this newer friggin computer of mine still had MSPaint... (which I haven't thought of since Win 95 or Win 3.1 came out)

Maybe so CH - but it's the easiest way I've found to submit a photo.
Sometimes "newer" is not always "better".

Pikey this what I have been doing too .... its easy and reliable

Yeah I know mate - posted it on Artisan some time ago

Just bumoed it to make it easier to find for linking to newbies.

Be good to make a sticky out of it really

bump - so I can find it again easier

I allus used mspaint, then I tried & loved paintdotnet. cropping is much easier, after you get the hang of it.

It is free, too!

For diehard XP users, like me!

If you've got an Apple computer system, open a picture in "Preview", click up on Tools, then "Adjust Size..." and then under "Fit into:" you can pick 800 x 600.

On my iPad I use an app called image size. Here is what the app looks like. When you click on the app you get a screen that looks like this: From here choose your photo and save, pretty easy.
