    Scale a picture

    How do I scale down the size of a picture? If I use MS Paint it just cuts it off and doesn't resize the whole thing.
    Boy you stink, go take a shower before you continue to code. Better do your laundry and spray your chair too.

    If you still want to use Paint, just use Stretch/Skew.

    basically if you have an image

    press CTRL+A or use the crop tool to make a border to select what you want to scale

    then press the IMAGE bar and press STRETCH/SKEW

    Then on the top 2 fill in's type in a % like 50% for both would make the picture 1/2 of the original size
