As I've noted recently, pictures that are uploaded here often need to be resized to download in a reasonable manner (there are always times when a high-res picture is necessary, but those are rare).
Here's a link to what I use on my Windows PC when I just need to resize a picture or group of pictures - it does just that one thing, does it well, and nothing else. It's especially useful for shrinking a whole directory full of pics when you want to email them to friends.
It's called PIXresizer, is free, and is at

Thanks Mark. I couldn't figure out how to downsize the photo of Julian Bliss that Morrie Backun sent me via email. My Adobe photoshop album program didn't have a specific way to do it.

I love Irfanview.
Ctrl-R (resize)
Shift-G (enhance contrast, brightness, saturation)
S (save)
Done
**love speedy edits**
Regards,
Stephen

open the picture in MSpaint, and simply by saving it, the size of the picture should drop dramatically. Or, if you know how, using the stretch/skew feature and selecting 25% H/W should downsize a 2400x1600 picture to a reasonable size (<100 KB)

Paint is pretty bad for compressing! Use something else.

Windows Powertoys (aka TweakUI, supplied via download from microsoft but not supported) has always worked for me.
I've downloaded Mark's recommendation to try it out later. It looks like it has more features that may be useful.

I'm just a adobe photoshop person... never thought of using anything else (and never needed)
It's even possible to resize a group of pixels, you just need to know how to do it...

The Paint program that comes with Windows is in my opinion good enough for resizing pictures and posting them online.

...just like the Buffet's stock mouthpiece is good enough to play with friends.
