This is what makes me so mad I can spit bullets. Many of us were not born into the computer world. So why do they make such a simple thing as resizing a photo so difficult?
I have been struggling to resize photos so I can send 10 or 12 pictures and not have an 80MB email. Posting pictures on websites or online sites require downsizing. This is a common requirement. I dont care about special effects, red eye, crop, blah blah blah. Every option except RESIZE, rrrrggghhhh.
Thanks to those who answered and helped. I will try downloading the updated version of windows live for my Vista.
Thanks again for those who responded to help people like me who are computer challenged LOL

Reduce photo size in Vista?

It's easy to reduce the size of a photo for sending by email, but that
always creates a new email message. It's also easy to attach the original
photo to an email message that has already been created by the user. But,
if I have already created an email, how do I reduce a photo in size and
attach it to that user-created email?
I know I could copy and paste the contents of the user-created email into
the system-created email, but I don't want to do that (eg, I want to reply
to an existing email message and retain it in the same conversation thread).
I also know that I could reduce the image size by going into Photoshop or
IrfanView etc, but is there a way I can do it from within Vista?

Not on my menu. Any ideas Andre.
No 'Resize' option in my R-click menu in Photo Gallery either.

Hmm must be new in Live Photo Gallery 2008 and the 2009 beta.
Hmm must be new in Live Photo Gallery 2008 and the 2009 beta. In Vista's
Photo Gallery, the only resize option I see available is when you click
email. If you download the new version, you get additional resize features I
mentioned earlier.

Lindsay-I am asking the same question that you have but I do not really see
Lindsay-
I am asking the same question that you have but I do not really see the
answer to the problem of how to reduce the photo size when you want to
attach a picture to an email that is user-created? Did you ever get
another response? I am new to the Forum and not sure I am seeing all of
the responses correctly. In Outlook, when I selected "file attachment
and then chose a photo, it always asked "do you want to change the size?
I always reduced it. This option is not available on the Vista Home
premium version I have on my brand new desktop. I saw something about a
newer version of Live gallery but not sure I can download that. Please
send any fixes my way. Thanks.
