You have to do it through the photo program I believe. Here is a thread that may help. If not maybe someone else can be more specific to help you.

And it is free.

It can resize quickly but also allows you to fix photo flaws like a picture that is too dark or a color that is 'off'. Sue

I use a really old version of Microsoft Office Picture Manager - NOTE: I don't know if they even still sell it, but it's a goodun! I can manipulate brightness, contrast, midtones, color values, hues, saturation, file size, photo size, and cropping. Also rotate, flip, redeye removal, etc. It's a pretty powerful and efficient photo managing tool.

Just MHO.
