Monte's Motors Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Now if someone will add a way to reduce the sizes of these, that would be even better. I think some could be used in their original size. http://www.vintageadbrowser.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie8575 Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 I think it can be done by expanding the image, copying it into Paint, Gimp, Corel Draw or whatever program you like and re-sizing. I'll play with it a little and see what I can come up with. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monte's Motors Posted September 6, 2010 Author Share Posted September 6, 2010 Here's what I did to make smaller picture/posters. Go to site, right click on the picture. A box will pop up. Left click Save pic as. My pictures in your computer will open. Put the picture file in the my pictures section. To print the picture smaller. Your in the my pics section, left click on the pic you want. Go to the left side of the screen and click print pic. The pic wizard will appear. Click the next button until you get to the size of pic. Scroll down to the smallest pictures (like 35 or something). The wallet size may be too big for you. When you click the size, it will start printing. Hope this helps. It worked for me and I'm computer slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 1. Select picture. Right-click. Select "Copy Imaage." 2. Open Paint or graphics program of choice. 3. Paste. 4. Resize. What you're seeing is about 100% size of what will print. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monte's Motors Posted September 6, 2010 Author Share Posted September 6, 2010 Here's some pictures from the site. Saving the pictures to "my pictures" produced much clearer pictures when the size was reduced. That's what worked best for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320wayne Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Great site. The simplest way to resize an image, especially for anyone that has no graphics program is really easy. Save the image to your computer in a folder. Then, open Word and insert any image from your folders. Once the image is in the word document simply click on the image and it will highlight the image with a box around it. Place the cursor over any corner and drag the image to a smaller size. There is no technical form to properly resize to a certain dimension so you will have to play with this a bit to get just the right size you are looking for. Once you figure out the correct sizing you can continue to add more images to the same document until you have a full page of whatever you want. I have used this technique to create pages of license plates, posters for the walls of diorama buildings, contingency decals for race cars and many other types of images. It's easy and it's fun.
