I use a program called http://www.irfanview.com/ to do all my photo resizing and what not, great program and its free. Good luck and the car looks great. Hopefully mine turns out that good when I am done. Its my first time as well
I have to give a lot of credit to my teacher, if it hadnt been for him it would have never been finished, he didnt do it for me but he kept me from getting burnt out
