Default How do i resize on photobucket ?

Hi all, i have just set up a account with PhotoBucket but im having trouble re-sizing images. I have changed the size to 800x600 but it uploads as the original size. Any help is greatly appreciated. Cheers, Adam.

Dont know about Photobucket but I usually use Tinypic and it keeps the uploaded size every time, maybe try that site.

Select the file size to be 1MB and you should be fine.

Do you have photoshop or paintshop, they are handy to have.

You could try an online resize site.

Maybe the best option to enlarge a smaller pic is to scan it back on to your pc at higher resolution and then save it. It all depends on the pixels. That is why smaller photos look bad when enlarged. I have found photo zoom really good too..It is a free download.....just my opinion... Hope this helps.
