Follow these steps to resize an image using Paint Video

Click the Paint button, click Open, click the picture you want to resize and then click Open.
On the Home tab, in the Image group, click Resize.
In the resize and skew dialog box, select the maintain aspect ratio check box so that the resized picture will have the same aspect ratio as the original picture.
If the maintain aspect ratio check box is selected, you only need to enter the horizontal value (width) or vertical value (height). The other box in the resize area is updated automatically.
Do one of the following in the resize area, and then click OK.
To resize your picture by a certain percentage, click percentage and then enter a percentage value to reduce the width in the horizontal box or a percentage to reduce the height in the vertical box.
To resize the picture so that it's a specific size, click pixels and then enter a new width in the horizontal box or new height in the vertical box.

There is no need to open a full-featured program such as Photoshop every time you want to make a simple size adjustmant to a picture. Image Shackle lets you resize an image quickly and easily.
Using Image Shackle: Click and hold on an image from the desktop or finder and then press F12 (or F8 on some iBooks) on the keyboard to reveal your dashboard. Drag and drop the image into Image Shackle.
The proportions are always kept. The slider will allow you to scale the image to whole numbers, but if you want an exact height or width you can type it in.
Check the preference on the back to convert shackled images to JPG. When converting an image with transparency (PNG, GIF or PSD) into a JPEG the transparent areas will be turned to white.
Your shackled image will be placed in the same folder as the original but “.shkl” will be added before the extention. This makes it easier to find them later. The size of the image will also be added to the filename.
The widget also serves as a tool for calculating ratios and constraining proportions for images that you don’t want to scale with the widget.
Image Shackle is only designed to work with one image at a time.
The following file types are supported and must have the proper extension: JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PSD (they will be flattened), PNG, PICT, BMP
If you try to shackle an image from iPhoto, the file will be saved to the folder that the original was in but will not be imported into iPhoto. Instead, export the image from iPhoto at the desired size, or drag the image from iPhoto to the desktop before shackling it.
