Hi Jenny,

I use an old program that I have had for years. MGI Photosuite III. It is quick and easy to use but I doubt if it is still available. I have looked at some of the newer photoshop packages but still go back to my old one. ;o))

I know there are a few that can be downloaded from the internet. Maybe someone here can tell you what they are. I am sure someone will be able to help.

Thank you for your replies, I want to resize some of my downloads as a few of the print out to A4 and that is too big to make cards from, my print wizard gives me the option for 5x7 but with decoupage this is sometimes too small, I want to be able to print them at the size I want them to be. As I am new to this I need all the help and advice I can get.

Jenny there quite possibly is something in your printer settings that will allow you to resize things.
If you have an A4 then resize by 50% to give you an A5 size.
If you want less than that you could try say 40% or even 30%
Most of the new printers these days have a wizard where you can do things like this.

(or some may say print 2 per sheet which would 'resize' ).

So take a look round your printer settings and see how you go.

I don't resize the actual file as it downloads from CUP. I don't want to mess around with the actual file in case I overwrite the original with a much smaller version and then want it large the next time.

But I do use the software IrfanView for viewing images in. When I want to print I just go to File, Print, and get a panel like this:

where I can choose the exact size in cm or inches, or I can scale down to half .5, three quarters .75, etc. so I have complete control over the size of the printout from the image file.

I don't resize my downloads only my photos of finished cards.

Just insert your download into a word document and then you can print it any size you want. That is what I usually do.

Hope this is of help.
