Thanks NordicJedi for use of your picture from Nvidia Lan party.
 
You can find Gimp here:

This pic was originally 4608x3456, but photobucket scaled it down to 1024x768 pixs.

 
Step One: Open ur pic in Gimp

 
Step Two: Click "image"

 
Step Three:  Click "scale image"

 
Step Four: here is where ya change ur pixels or inches size, stick with pixels for internet.

 
Step Five:  Lets go with 900 pix wide, dont hit enter or click out, just type in the 900 and to the next step.

 
 
Step Six: Click the chain while the cursor is still where ya typed the 900 at.

Thant should give you 900x675 pix....
 
Step Seven: 

 
Step 8:

 
Step 9: This is where ya name, save to, what type. To save ya some time, add ".jpg" to the end of ur file name, just fine for webpages.

Great tutorial ;D

Thanks man, good post!

Hahaha, yeah if someone is using56k still, how long did it take them to reach the forums? 20 mins?  

Thanks guys....

I'd say that this is too much work.  Here's an alternative approach:

1. Use Picasa web albums as a hosting solution (it's free and you already have it if you have a gmail.com e-mail)
2. Upload pictures and go to the picture you want to use in your post
3. Click on "Link to this Photo" on the right, pick a size from "Select Size" drop-down  and check "Image only" checkbox
4. Copy the link from "Embed image" textbox
5. Insert the link between IMG tags in your post, better yet, make it a thumbnail for full size image (replace "sXXX" portion of the link with "s0"), like below.

too much work, LOL..........

Some work vs. no work (Picasa does the scaling) is always too much work.  Picasa will also rescale multiple images in about the same time (very close to 0 sec), whereas the time for doing it by hand with Gimp will grow at least linearly with the number of images.
 
Let's talk more, you seem to have asked for criticism, especially if it's constructive, no?

Great Guide!

Thanks.
 
I was very surprised on how many steps it took me to make the tutorial. Its only a 2min step and gives ya more control over the image, but prob took me 3 hours to write.........
