Picture sizing

[codswallop]

I'm trying to print a football shirt badge of a specific size using Picassa 3.The size I need is of 68% but the graduations jump from 75% to 100%.Is there a way of "fine tuning"the increase/decrease in size??? Thanks !!!!

I don't know picassa ...
but ifanview is a cracking free viewer which is simple to use

It also does some basic tasks and will resize with any % you want

Thanks for that AC,I've been to that site and downloaded the prog but I can't find it in my list of progs.I feel such an idiot!!!! Tried it twice same result!!!

wuh??

what version of windows?

When you run the installer - the first screen lets you pick where to create shortcuts
one of the default settings creates one on the desktop
so there should be a flat red cat on there somewhere

if not - note the destination folder - and drag a shortcut from there

Hi there AC i'm on Vista(you're going to tell me it won't run on Vista) When I get the installer I don't get any of the choices that you mentioned, and what do you do with the Red Cat????Thanks for the quick reply!!

Hi there it's me again I don't know how I did it but I've downloaded Irfanview.The screen comes up black I've gone to TOOLS and selected the colour I want and OK'd it but it still stays black,any ideas please????

ps the page had a second option to change the screen colour so it's now all systems go.I've only got to find out how to use it properly.Thanks again!!

runs ok on vista

You've lost me here
the screen colour is only the background

to open a pic
file | open
and find the picture and select it - click ok

with the pic displayed
press ctrl + r (both together)

enter the % (second option)
click ok - done

to print

file | print (ctrl + p)

Hi there AC I've managed to sort out most things now.I appreciate that the screen colour was only the background,but BLACK was a bit in your face so I changed it to a more neutral colour.As for sizing I went for the % option when I tried ctrl+R it only rotated the picture.Thanks again!!!

ctrl+r
hold ctrl THEN press R - just tried it - it works - honest
