Gidday Glockster. I assume that you are working with Windows? The easiest way I find is to:

Click on START....go to All Programs.....go to Accessories.....click on Paint.
Once you have Paint open, Click on FILE, Click on OPEN and select the Folder that contains the pic you want to resize...Click on the PIC file then Click on OK.
Once you have the pic open in Paint, Click on IMAGE....Click on STRETCH/SKEW.
When the new window opens change the 100 (%) figure in STRETCH to 50 (%) and do the same with SKEW. You can change this figure to whatever you wish the size to be.
Save the modified pic back to the original Folder with a different name. If you have a number of pics to resize, after saving a pic, open the next one and go through the same process. Use the modified pic to enter into HuntingNut.

It seems like a lot of fiddling around, but after you have done it once you will find that it only takes 30 secs to do it.

Cheers, Vince

or, if you are a bit lazy like me,
there are freeewares such as IrfanView that could change a lot of pictures in a jiffy.

Thanks, Before my PC crashed I had it set up to just right click on the pic and in the drop menu I had the option to re size pic, and I would click on re size and it would add that smaller pic right into my pic file to use any time I needed to. I think Dallan helped me before on this..

Goto this link, scroll down to the "Image Resizer"

www.microsoft.com/wind...rtoys.mspx

Download and install. Now you can simply right click any image and resize on the fly. *Note: It makes a new copy of the image so the original is not altered.
