| If you crop a downloaded image you might end up with a version that is less than 480 pixels in both directions. Because there are display problems with smaller images the site won't accept that file and you will get an error notice (which is how you may have arrived here). The way to get around this limit is to add a "frame/border" on one side of the image. In Photo Shop Elements (and I assume Photo Shop) click on Image -> Resize -> Canvas Size and increase the number of pixels to meet the 480 pixel minimum. In Picture Window Pro ... | ||

| Possible better - increase the pixel size. In PSE and PSP "Resize" and then set the wider dimension to 480. That way you get a larger image rather than small image and wide blank frame. If you resize 'real large' - work from a very tiny crop - then the resulting image will be 'soft'. But it will be easier for the photographer to see your framing idea. If they like it they can go back to their original file and work some new magic. | ||

| Gimp Image -> Scale Image and then increase the New width or Height box to be 480px. Selecting 'Cubic (best)' in the Interpolation drop down at the bottom should help with the quality. Be aware: Gimp does a quick bit of maths after you enter your resize request and sometimes a 480px request will get a 479px response. Normaly asking for 481px instead will solve the problem but you may find you need to nudge it up a little higher to stop it resizing to 479px. [Edited: 18:01 - RedAndy ] | ||

| To resize an image in Microsoft Office Picture Manager / Office 2003: Select the following: 1. From the Menu Bar click on the Picture Tab. 2. Under Picture Tab click Resize. -OR- 1a. From the Tool Bar select Edit Pictures. 2a. A box with editing options will appear on the right. Under Change Picture Size select Resize. 3. A box with resizing options will appear on the right. At the bottom the original image size is displayed. Select Custom Width x Height. Enter the minimal allowable size in the field that corresponds to the smallest size of your image. EX: If the original is 2272W x 1704H enter 480 into the Height field. This example yielded an image size of 640 W x 480 H. In this example the image orientation was landscape. 4. Click OK. 5. From the Menu Bar click File. 6. Under File click Save. [Edited: 03:03 - Ali - camilles note] | ||
