- 1). Open the photograph using any software viewing or editing program, such as iPhoto, Preview, Microsoft Paint, Microsoft Photo Viewer or IrfanView. Select the individual photo you wish to re-size, or select multiple photographs using the "Select All" button.
- 2). Open the tab marked "tools" or "edit" and select the "resize/reshape" function. Check the box marked "retain aspect ratios." This will keep your photograph from being distorted during the resizing process, and will automatically match the opposing photo dimensions to the dimensions you re-size.
- 3). Adjust the dimensions to about 1,000 pixels on the longer side, or a length of 6 inches. For optimal email performance, make your individual pictures smaller than 100 Kb, and never higher than 1 Mb, as this can adversely affect your message reliability.
- 4). Save the photograph using a new name if you wish to retain a copy of the photograph in both the original size and the new, smaller size. To replace the original photograph, simply save over it using the same name and it will be changed to the smaller size.
