Congratulations coz and welldone,cant wait to see them and hope you are recovering well
If you want a quick way to resize pics......bring them up in a simple prog like paint go to image/stretch skew and play around with the hori and vert percentages until its a bit smaller etc but when you save make sure you "save as" and alter the name of the pic so you dont lose your original size one.
Hope this makes sense xxx
