The program discontinued before I had even gotten my copy of Windows 7. :/ It took over a month to process the order because they send out an affidavit you have to sign and send back along with a copy of your pay stub to confirm employment.

Unfortunately, that is not my car, nor my picture. :(
Nor is it in its natural habitat. :?

That's because Paint sucks at downsizing images and I didn't feel like reopening it in Photoshop.

You need something in-between. You need a good Paint replacement:

IrfanView FTW. I was considering recommending it but Paint.NET is such a good replacement for Paint...

The IrfanView .zip file sans installer is somewhat hard to find on its official download page. A link for the lazy:

FastStone Image Viewer is another great tool for the efficient, portable, image viewing and manipulating arsenal. It's easier to find the .ZIP portable version on its download page:

I use Picasa all the time, because it is integrated with (of course) PicasaWeb. That's where most of my photos are hosted. It does not replace IrfanView, FastStone, or Paint.NET.
