Hi all. I've been a quiet member now for two years and finally got my custom paint job. I'm diing to get some pics on the site and in the gallery but evidently my pics are to large. I saw the download link in the FAQ section but I do not have access to a computer to download the microsoft tool. Can anyone tell me how to make my pics smaller so I can post them? I am not a computer whiz so the simplest route would be best. Thankyou in advance.
Adding pics to gallery.

You can use MicroSoft Paint to enlarge or shrink the picture.
Open MS Paint (comes with all MS Windows)
Open picture
Goto [Image] on the tool bar, Select [Stretch/Skew]
To decrease the size of the picture. Enter a number less than 100 in the Horizontal & Vertical (stretch) boxes the exact same amount. For example, to make it 1/2 the size smaller, enter 50 in both Horizontal and Vertical boxes in the Stretch section (not Skew section).
To check the size of the photo press [CTRL] + E = will tell you the size of the picture.
You can resize it more, or if you got it down to the size you want.
Save the picture under a different name. That way you don't save over the Hi-res version of the photo.
