If your photo-editing software has a Help Index, search for the term "resize" or "resizing" and see where that takes you. I'm quite sure that your computer has the software to do this; you just have to ferret it out.

I was quoted in the 300 range for a rear fender repaint, Sand down to primer, and repaint, and then clear, and thats from a dealership collision center, that actually does a good job. I need to repaint one of my front fenders, since it matchs absolutely nothing. Severely orange peel, while everything else is slight.

Sorry to hear some azz did that to your car. I dread the day that should happen to my new Z.
Photobucket.com has an option available to resize your pictures. Photobucket is free.
or
You can go to Microsoft for some free Power Toys...including an image resizer.
Click this link and look on the right side for Image Resizer to download it.

After you download it you can go to your My Pictures file and right click the photo and choose what size you want. You can customize it to what pixels you want too.

Hi Track! Photobucket is good to use because each time a photo is viewed on the internet that is stored/hosted by Photobucket then it is Photobuckets bandwidth that gets used rather than your own computers bandwidth which could slow your computer down.
Isn't that right? Anyone? Or am I way off?

In iPhoto to resize your picture just:
1) Select the picture
2) Go to Share > Export
3) Click the bullet next to "Scale images no larger than"
4) Change the width to something around 550 or 600
5) Save
Then just upload to imageshack.us or any image hosting site.

Vandalizing a defenseless car is like punching a baby or poisoning a dog. Some people just need to grow some ***** and go face-to-face if they have a problem with someone.

Damn man, I fear the day that might happen to me. I don't exactly live in the perfect neighborhood and I don't have a garage or a driveway for that matter.... Very scared.
