1. You could paste it into Word

and resize there, for one thing. (if you have a pc)

edit: and then print the word document from there too...

4. For printing you probably want it at the higher resolution.

Open it in a paint program instead of OutbreakExpress, make sure it'll fit on a page, then print it.

15. Outbreak Express?!

That is too good...

5. I would use a paint program

Depending on what Paint program your computer has, you should able to "Sketch/Skew" the image to the desired size.

9. If that's what you used for your current sig line

I don't like the way it re-samples. You can really see the pixels. Maybe there's a way to set it to use bi-cubic instead of nearest neighbor as its re-sampling method?

10. I have NO idea what a bi-cubic is

I am a :dunce:...rmemeber :)

11. Irfanview

I've got a dozen or so graphics programs, but my favorite for viewing, resizing, thumbnails, changing formats, and other quick stuff is Irfanview. It's small and easy, but does amazing things. And it's free.

12. I have that one too

and Serif and photoshop..and I still liked Corel Photo House the best, but my new computer would not "accept" it :(..

So I have all the tools, but they are too complicated for me to use :(

13. Yes!

Irfanview is easy, works really well, and is free. I love it.

14. Another vote here for irfanview

I use it for all my pictures.

It amuses me that one of the icons you can use for it on the desktop is a woman in a bikini. Guess he knows what sort of pictures a lot of computer users are looking at... :-)
