Use your Microsoft Photo Editor software to size pictures according to the desired output. |
||
| 1. | Turn on your computer and wait for windows to boot. | |
| 2. | Place the diskette containing your digital photos in the floppy drive of the computer. | |
| 3. | Click the start button. |
|
| 4. | From the program list, select "Photo Editor" |  |
| 5. | Click the "open file" icon. |  |
| 6. | Click the pull-down menu labeled "Look in:". |  |
| 7. | Double-click the "3 1/2 Floppy (A:)" icon. |  |
| 8. | Review the list of file names and double click the name of the picture that you would like to edit |  |
| The file will open in the Photo Editor window.
Now you need to think about how the picture will be used and how big it needs to be for that use. If you haven't done so already, now would be a good time to read "Understanding Screen Resolution" Once you decide on an approximate size for the image go on to the next step. |
 |
|
| 9. | Select "image" from the tool bar. |  |
| 10. | Select "Resize" |  |
| 11. | The "Resize" dialog appears. |  |
| 12. | Using the pull-down menu in the "Units" pane, select "Pixels". |  |
| 13. | Now you can use the up and down arrows to
adjust the height or width of the picture. Note: Any change to
width or height that you invoke will result in a corresponding
proportional change in the other dimension. If you wish to make
disproportionate changes in height and width you must check the
"Allow distortion" option.
Click "OK" when you are done. |
 |
| 14. | After changing the size of your picture it is a
good idea to save the modified picture to a new file. This way you
will always have an original to work from if you decide to make different
modifications to the picture in the future.
Click "File" |
 |
| 15. | Click "Save As..." |  |
| 16. | In the "File name" pane, type a new name which includes the new picture size, then click "Save". |  |
| 17. | You can now exit Photo Editor by clicking the "X" in the uppermost right-hand corner of the screen. |  |
