[Waverley ARS] my cape don pictures are up GO

[Adam Carmichael]

Hi Daniel,

I really like the RADAR pic :)

Microsoft have a really useful powertool (actually they have several on 
the Powertoys website ^1) called the Image Resizer ^2. It allows you to 
right click on an image (or a selection of images) to a usable size on 
different kinds of devices (such as PDAs or phones) as well as various 
screen sizes, as well as custom sizes. I often reduce 8MP images to 
1600x1200 (or 1024x768 if I'm really impatient) and they upload in a snap.

Other useful PowerToys include Open Command Window Here, Alt+Tab 
Replacement (not for slow PCs), RAW Image Thumbnailer and Viewer (only 
useful if you know what RAW image format is). HTML Slide Show Wizard 
allows you to create your own slide show. Best of all, they are all free.
