Posting Pics

I don't profess to be good with cameras and high tech stuff :embarassed:but here's the question. I have an Olympus Stylus Tough 10 megapixel camera. What's the best way to size down the format to post on the site but still get good crisp pics. I have many to post of some Hawgs(yeah,right) . I've also put a couple of
floats on the camera since we lost one when unnamed fell overboard.

I'm partial to Irfanview.  It's a free tool with some great and easy to use picture image editing tools.  My favorite functions are the color balancing, image sharpening, resizing and fine rotation functions.

You can find a free download here: http://irfanview.com/

I am an Irfanview fan as well and definitely not the man when it comes to software.* But these two little apps are slicker than snot. Download it, install it, and then if you right click over a picture, you'll see "Resize Pictures" as one of the options. Click that and the default setting is 640x480. Click "ok" and it makes a downsized copy of the picture in the same directory, that's perfect for posting. Toooo painless. The first link is for XP and the second works on Vista.
