Once you’ve selected your image and opened Microsoft Photo Editor, you’re ready to begin resizing the image….

In this example we’ll resize a large image. The image is called “cicada

killer wasp.jpg.” It has a file size of 1,264 kb or 1.264 Mb. It’s physical size is 1755 pixels by 1194 pixels. That means it’s too large to fit completely on a typical computer screen. Let’s assume that we need to reduce the physical size of the image to around 200 pixels by 200 pixels.
