You'll need something like Paintshop Pro, Photoshop or Microsoft picture editor (comes with office).

Open the jpeg, and resize it (there will be an option somewhere in the package you use) to 176x220, or 176x180 to accomodate for the softkey buttons and title bar.

You need to use a photo editing app on your PC... Something like photoshop, or paintshop pro, or (god forbid) paint (that comes free with windows), or ACDSEE which has an editing tool as well as the viewer.

ok i'll try that.....now off to find an editing tool.....

Much easier if you are a Windows XP user is to download Image Resizer -

http://download.microsoft.com/download/whi...wertoySetup.exe

It's free and also integrates with the Right-Click properties menu.

Use Irfanview, d00d.

Free, less than half a meg, batch processing, slideshows, everything you might want in one easy package.

[Guest yatpeak]

you could use paint, and use stretch and skew, but that only works in percentages.

You're welcome!

It's my favourite app, on any platform.
