How to save a picture (regular size) and do the resizing for

When I resize it just saves the resized one and the original is gone...that is my problem. I have just been playing and clicked on file location and then I clicked on the area that says copy but it does not show where the copy is and I do not have duplicates to downsize.

 

I do not have an area to name my resized photo...nothing comes up...just when I download my pictures I can.

 

Even when I go into Microsoft picture manager and click save on the left size in the file before I downsize it, I cannot find the original picture I saved, then I go to resize it and when I come back , I only have the picture I resized.


I always had the original before I got windows 7 with no problem but this has changed.

 

toni...even if I put them in another area I don't think it would make a difference. I can find my original pictures, I just can't save my originals any more with w7 when I resize for posting here.

 

Now we is getting somewhere.
To make a Copy of all the pictures in a Folder is really easy.
Open the folder you want to copy.
Go to the top left hand side of the Screen and Left Click on Edit.
In the Drop down menu left click on Select All.
All the pictures in the folder should turn blue ('Tis the cold )
Left Click on Edit again.
In the Drop down Menu Left Click on Copy to Folder.
In the Wizard which appears, left click on 'Make New Folder'
The words New Folder will appear in blue. Just type in what you want to call your folder and press Enter.
The new folder will turn grey with the name you gave it.
Left Click on Copy
All you pictures will then be copied into the folder which you just created.

 

Do you have to copy the whole folder or can you do just the pictures you want to share?

 

I don't have an edit area on the screen when I highlight the album...

 

toni...why would you have more control in documents? I will try it when I take more pictures. or I will take a few pictures to play with..

thank you everyone for all your time. I plan on not sharing pictures anymore until I can figure this out. I thought I was saving the original all this time. I will keep playing around and clicking on everything to see if it works.

 

No, you can just highlight the pictures you want to copy, using Control and the left or right arrows.

Now that is odd., not having an Edit area, It should still be in the same place at the top left of the Screen in your top Taskbar.

This is the trouble with trying to explain things 'blind'.

 

I just right clicked on one picture and I picked edit and it said copy so I clicked that and it made and numbered itself copy 2. So 2 is the one I will make smaller or resize. I did not find an edit area on the top, just on the right click.I figured it should be easy...just couldn't figure out how to do it.

Thank you all so much for your time...now I have a beautiful butterfly I have just got to share...It only lets me do one picture at a time, no albums.
thank you again...

 

Wish I could help you more.
The Edit I am talking about is at the top left hand side of the screen. This is a different thing to the one you get when you Right click on a picture.
