When resizing pics that are downloaded, How do you keep them from distorting/ getting fuzzy?

if it's a small file, say less than 500x500 kb it'll look bad when enlarged, go for something a little bigger and it won't be as pixelated, maybe 1280x1024?

I always put my pictures on the desktop, so I dont misplace them. then I put them in my special folder after I have finished editing or e-mailing or whatever. To e-mail I use yahoo. You can browse and upload from yahoo. Irfanview is a great picture resizing program that might help

When you download the picture, go to the View tab in the software you're using, then Attributes, and change the resolution size to whatever you want.

The probable reason is the resolution difference in the images.  The image you are copying from is a higher resolution than the image you are pasting into.\n\nTo resize, once you have pasted into the image (which is inherently on its own layer)... choose Image > free transform (you could also choose Image > Transform > Scale).  Then, choose a corner (a double ended arrow appears), hold down the shift key (to keep the correct perspective and not skewing image) and resize by dragging while you are holding shift and the left click mouse.  Voila!\n\nHint:  to see the difference in image resolution - for any image, choose image > image size.  The popup will show you the dimensions of your image and the resolution.\n\nHave fun!

Any change in size will adversely affect the quality. Paint (yeah, the one that comes with every Windows computer) can do this. Just do a stretch horizontal and then vertical at the same percentage so the aspect ratio stays the same.

back-up your image then open it with MS-Paint . \npress CTRL+S . \nthe size of file (not size of pic) will decrease !

well... it's imposible, with the applications I have, to enlarge an image without a corresponding loss of resolution.\n\nHOWEVER... Image EXPERT, has this "FOCUS" tool, that will minimize the effects.\n\nchange the size to where you want it to be... then "SHARPEN" the image... sometimes... you can get away with it.\n\nGood luck

Perhaps the image is being resized by the page that is hosting it.  Review the underlying HTML of your page.  The size-parameters for the image, if they are different from the image itself, will be noted there.  You can also try a "save as" operation on your hosted image, and compare the image-size of the original with the image you download.

if on an xp, right click on a blank area of the folder and select new and then go to compressed folder\n\nthen put the pic or movie into the compressed folder\n\nit can make it 2/3 or less of the orginal size

make the picture larger or equal to the res'.

You can't.. Applications that don't allow maximization do it for a reason, either because if you resize, they layout will go out of wack, or for that certain application, you're only supposed to be restricted to that amount of space.\nThis completely depend on your application....

Right click on the photo, click on properties then reduce the size of it that way, just make the numbers smaller

Well if you are simply looking to make the image smaller without having to install additional software you can open the image with Microsoft Photo Editor, then click on Image in the toolbar, then select Resize. Enter your new dimensions and hit OK. Hope this helps.

The Microsoft Paint program\n (START / PROGRAMS / ACCESSORIES / PAINT) \nallows you to “Stretch/Skew” a photo by percentage, thus you can downsize to a smaller percentage (say 50%) for both the vertical and horizontal (so you keep the normal ratio of V/H) and the resulting file that you rename and save will be smaller (one fourth the number of bytes for the  example reduction  by 50% in each dimension).

The lower the resolution picture that you have to begin with (your source picture), the less information there is in it, so when you enlarge it, the default enlarge operation will pixelate it, as it just in effect increases the size of the source data.\n\nYou can of course apply filters to the enlarged image. So you could apply a blur or soften filter to get rid of the pixelation. You can also apply inference algorithms to it, which look at the enlarged picture, and by inferring which pixels / colours / lines / edges are most likely to be there - it won't guarantee you're right, but it's educated guesswork. This is what you often see implied on films when the FBI zoom into a blurry picture and get high detail, although it's not nearly as easy as the films imply.\n\nOf course, in the end, the best way is to ensure that your source image is of a high enough resolution, so that you can  always go back to the original high res source image.
