How To Use The New Windows 7 Paint Program For Image Resizing
1. Right-click the image you want to resize, then on the context menu, click Open with > Paint. Alternatively, depending on what software you have installed, you may also click Edit.
2. Once Paint loads, Click the Image button on the ribbon and then click Resize. Note: If your Paint window is large enough for the Ribbon to auto-expand, the Image button will become its ribbon menu.
3. That step should open the Resize and Skew window. Here you can choose to resize using percentage or pixels. My preference is pixels, so I know the exact dimensions of the image. Enter the Horizontal and Vertical dimensions you would like the picture to be, and then click OK.
4. Now that the image is the size you want, don’t forget to click Save. If you accidentally try to exit without saving, Paint will kindly remind you that you have not saved yet, via a pop-up.
Conclusion
Hopefully, operation image-resize was a success! Here’s an example where I’ve used Paint to make my image of Sesame Street’s Cookie Monster a little bit smaller. I hope you enjoyed this article as much as he wants cookies.
