Guest chuck Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 **i posted this in the wrong forum earlier so i'm posting here also. sorry.** i can't seem to figure out how to resize an image to use as a desktop background so that i dont get a screen full of several images of one picture rather than filling the screen with the single image itself. does this make sense? i assume it has to do with an image being smaller than 800x600 but i cant figure out how to change it so that it is that size. thanks.

But there are a ton of editing programs that can resize images. Even http://www.faststone.org/FSResizerDetail.htm is freeware and may suit you. Look for photo editor, resizer, etc in google. Sometimes if you bought a digital camera, they also come with same basic tools to do this.
