  • Q:  How to reduce the size of an image? 

    A:  To resize a picture you need a photo editor or an image editor.  When you resize a picture (some call it resample), you can choose the new width and the new height of the resized picture (in pixels).

    To avoid distortion, most graphical software tools allow you to check a box named "preserve aspect ratio" or something similar.  When you check this box, you choose only the new width and the corresponding height will be calculated automaticaly.  (or vice-versa)

    At the digital photo software guide you will find a page dealing with photo resizing and jpeg resizing as well as an overview of different photo editors.


  • Q:  Where is the resize function in your graphical software? 

    A:  With most graphical software tools the resize function is under the menu
    Image
    ,  sub-menu
    Resize
    .



  • Q:  Is my browser showing the wallpapers at 1/1 scale ? 

    A:  Unfortunately, many browsers are rescaling images behind your back and do not show the images at 1/1 scale as they should. They may do this for various reasons. We have a test image and more details at the page image scaling .
