    I feel like a total idiot posting this, but I am just having trouble scaling down my photos to upload. Not a real photo shop kid...anyways, any thoughts will be much appreciated

    paint is easy to use :icon_bigg
    open paint, go to image ->> stretch/skew image ->> change percentage.

    You can do it in paint, or it's not too difficult in photoshop either:

    Open the photo, go Image -> Image Size and make the width about 500 px
    Go File -> Save As, and save it wherever as a jpeg, job done

    An awesome investment is this free program called "Infraview" just download it and it makes sizing REALLY easy

    You can download Picasa for free. Other tools like the Flickr Uploadr automatically resize pics when you upload them.

    I would recommend Paint.NET as it's smaller and more lightweight than Photoshop and it's perfect if all you need it for is resizing.

    You mean Irfanview?
