I'm trying and failing to resize pictures. I have tried resizing on websites and imageshack and they both say they are too big. They are on my computer on my kodak software but nothing I try will resize them.

Get a sharp knife. Carefully cut the picture down to size. If you can't get the cut started, you might have to "stab" it to get it going.

The ghetto way to resize is to open up the picture with MS Paint. Select "Image" from the tool bar. Select "Stretch/Skew" from the pull-down menu. In the Stretch box, enter a number less than 100 and type that number in the boxes next to "Horizontal:" and "Vertical:". The number needs to be the same, e.g. Horizontal: 50% and Vertical: 50%. Then, save the photo.
If you shrink it too much or not enough, undo your change and try it again with a different percentage.

I did this and shrunk it down to 25 both ways saved it to pictures but imageshack still says it is too large. It looks good on ms paint.

Get the "image resizer" from Microsoft. Install it, then just right click on the picture file (or numerous files), and the select "resize".

Microsoft Sky drive, 5 gigs of free storage. No one picture can realistically be over 5gigs, unless its one of those 15 billion giga pixa panoramas.

Depending on how many you want to resize, I use MS Paint. Open up the picture in paint, click Image ––> resize/skew then go from there. Then just save the image and move on to the next.
