Having problems with resizing pictures

[Rockmeister]

Ok...here's the problem. I bought a Samsung digital camera and when I upload the pictures to my pc and open the picture in paint, it fills my whole screen. It doesn't matter which program I use, the picture still comes out big. How can I resize these pictures?

Does your camera come with any software at all for editing photos?

There's a free program called picassa that you can download here: http://www.picasa.com/index.php , that performs many basic photo enhancement/editing tasks. I haven't used it myself, so I don't know if resizing is one of them, but you would think it would be.

Otherwise, there is a free program that I use called XNView (http://perso.wanadoo.fr/pierre.g/xnview/endownload.html) for many of my own conversion tasks, and I know that resizing is definately one of its features. I use XNView because it works with almost any kind of image ever made (which is hard to come by), but it contains quite a few handy features.

Come to think of it, I don't ever recall any software programs in the package.

Well, I think it would have worked if I only had a scanner.

it should work if the pic. is already in comp. and sm. enough.
