Ill see if i can remember...

In the top toolbar I believe the 3rd option over is called "image" click that then it will drop down then in that box there should be "image size" click that. when the box pops open make sure "constrain proportions" is checked then in the top box there should be the images dimensions. most likely in pixles. (IE: width 300 - height 200) just change those to what you want.

The reason for checking the constrain proportions is it makes sure the image stays the same shape just gets bigger. this way it dont get deformed..

so if the image is 50X50 and you want to double it change the top box which would be width to 100 or to reduce the image size by half put 25... and it should automatically adjust the height for you so the image doesnt get streched out of proportion.

if the image is a gif or a bmp resizing it will cause the image to get pixelated so youll only be able to go so big before it starts to look crappy.

open your image then go to image on top and scroll down to image size and just adjust the numbers to what ever size you want it and that should be it then save it.

HTH.

yes, but depending on you camera you cannot simply make your image as big as you want. It will pixalte on you.

I dom in ate, do you have a screen capture program? I use it for teaching...its great.

 

[imported_GraFFix]

for a screen capture all you need to do is use your print screen button on your keyboard then paste it into a image editing program such as PS.


Print screen
Open PS
select new file
paste

Bingo joe. But you can also open up paint and open up the file and do a Save as.
