Reduce photo size in Vista?

Lindsay Graham

It's easy to reduce the size of a photo for sending by email, but that
always creates a new email message. It's also easy to attach the original
photo to an email message that has already been created by the user. But,
if I have already created an email, how do I reduce a photo in size and
attach it to that user-created email?

I know I could copy and paste the contents of the user-created email into
the system-created email, but I don't want to do that (eg, I want to reply
to an existing email message and retain it in the same conversation thread).

I also know that I could reduce the image size by going into Photoshop or
IrfanView etc, but is there a way I can do it from within Vista?

Open Photo Gallery, select the image, right click it and on the contextual
menu click 'Resize'.

Use Windows Photo Gallery and you can reduce the size to email. If you want
a stand alone one free, download vso image resizer.
