VK photo resizing

I tried this out tonight for another post. It worked. You stay in Windows and no other photo apps. The 900x900 limit is the best guide...not file size.

How to resize for new VK limits...Windows version using the basic photo viewer.

I keep any photo on my desktop for ease of finding.

1 - open photo in Windows photo viewer. Usually a double-click to open.
2 - make crop and other adjustments first. Save to overwrite the desktop
photo. If no adjustments, go to 3.
3 - open again and look for the ... (more) button.
4 - click on "resize" and stay with "pixels" and 80%.
5 - lower the W/H pixels to below 900 on both. They will track together. 899
works.
6 - This should get your file much lower. Lower the quality slider to raise file
size but stay low for a file size limit.
7 - Save as above to overwrite the desktop photo again. Test the post in preview. Done.
