Windows Paint, Windows 7's improved drawing program, lets you resize or crop photos. Resizing photos makes them small enough for e-mails or size-specific for inclusion in a document. Many photos can also be improved by cropping — cutting out distracting elements and keeping just part of the photo — to concentrate on the most important part of the photo.

Change the name in the File Name field to create a new copy of this picture. Click Save.

You’re now editing the new copy, so the original, unaltered file still exists under the original name. You may not need to do this for every photo, but saving a copy gives you some insurance against edits you can't fix.
