Why?

This is to change the proportions of your image, not the size of the file. This will make sure all of the image shows on the PDA.

1. Open picture

Open Picasa by double-clicking on its icon.

Double-click on one of your photos. This will open up it up in its own window


2. Select 'Crop' mode

Click on the Crop button

4. Select area to crop

Click on the image with your mouse and hold the button down. Start in the top left corner and drag a rectangle around the part of the picture you want to keep, moving down to the bottom right of the image.

5. Apply cropping

Now click the Apply button - this will cut your photo so it is the same size as the area you dragged out with the mouse.
