	The paint program is found in All Programs -> Accessories.� You may want to right click the Paint program and click Send to -> desktop (create shortcut), if you want to have quick access from your desktop. 1. First open the large picture in Paint.

	2.� Click on resize.� Make sure the Resize by:� Percentage is selected and the� "keep aspect ratio" box is checked.� They should already be selected so you shouldn't need to change anything.

	3. Now edit the percentage value, currently at 100. You can start at 50 percent just to see if it gets shrunk enough. If not then you can simply hit the "undo" button or ctrl + z to start over and try again. Once you have found the right size (somewhere close to 800 x 600 px) then you simply need to remember the percentage number you used and repeat it for all of your photos from that camera.

	4. Now simply save the picture so you can post it on RHL for all to see.
