Peter,In Photoshop 6 go to Image Size... on the Image menu and change Pixel Dimensions/Width to 700 pixels. If you have the two checkboxes at the bottom ticked (Constrain Proportions and Resample Image) then you will get the correct size file.Can't help you on re-paints though! I haven't tried them yet, but I'm sure someone here will help. :-)Iain Spowart,Scotland.Webmaster and photographer,Scottish Claymores 2002Cheerleaders Fan Sitehttp://avsim.iainspowart.com/2002-s.jpghttp://www.claymorescheerleaders.com

Photoshop is a fine program, but to resize a screen grab quickly I use the freeware program Irfanview:http://www.irfanview.com/I have this set as my default image viewer, and you will find the resize/resample tab has options to use a percentage value, a pixel value, or preset values (eg 800x600). Note - "lock aspect ratio" means adjust both dimensions in proportion - excuse me if you understood this term already.It's not a paint program, but has a heap of useful features, and it's just quicker to load than Photoshop.PH
