Resizing Photos in Picasa to upload to TradeMe

I have been asked by a few to explain how to resize your photos to a smaller size so you can upload them to Trade Me or to email. In this example, I will be using Picasa from Google which you should have installed.We first need to make a new folder on our desktop called “Trade Me photos” so right click on your desktop & from the menu, choose New / Folder then type in the name Trade Me Photos.Next we need to start Picasa. Now click on the first photo (once) to highlight it, then push and hold the “ctrl” on the keyboard. Now click on each of the other photos you want to resize. You should now have a few photos with blue outlines around them showing you they are highlighted.Now click on FILE in the top left corner of the screen then click on “Export Picture to folder” or just click on the EXPORT button at the bottom of the screen.Now click on browse then the new folder you made “Trade Me photos” then OK. Now make sure the dot in on the resize to. Now slide the slider so the number in the box says 640. Now click OK and that’s it.You should now have your photos in the folder “Trade Me photos” on the desktop in 640 x 480 resolution with is perfect for emailing or uploading to Trade Me.
