Actually, just wanted to say this little program saved my butt recently
when I downloaded one of those HUGE newspaper files off Ancestry.
Everytime I loaded the file into a picture editing program, it would
freeze. Finally, I resized it down by right clicking on the file in
explorer & using the custom option. After several attempts, I got the
size down just right.... where when you blow the picture up, you can
actually read the type. Worked like a charm.

I've really enjoyed this thread. It's interesting to hear how everyone
works with their digital images within Legacy. Photo's add so much
interest to the reports and digital images of sources make such great
research tools. I hope Legacy continues to improve in this area of the
program.
For those of you who wish to resize your photos to known/
specific sizes for use in Legacy, the following link will get you to a
Microsoft __Windows XP__ powertoy that is a wonderful tool. It's a
tiny program that is quick, simple, does the job and is FREE.
If you follow this link,
http://www.Microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx
<http://www.Microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx>
and select the "Image Resizer", it will download a quick file that,
when installed, allows __Windows XP__ users the ability to quickly and
effectively resize any photo into four size selections.
It's free, and it works. It installs right into your __right click__
menu abilities when using Windows folders and file managers. Just
right click on an image file, click on 'Resize Pictures' in the menu
and up pops a little window that gives you 4 sizes to choose from. The
little pop up windows says:
"You can create resized copies of one or more selected pictures and
store them in the current folder"
Select a size:
Small (fits a 640 x 480 screen)
Medium (fits a 800 x 600 screen)
Large (fits a 1024 x 768 screen)
Handheld PC (fits a 240 x 320 screen)
