Another option :
I use an online web service which is free :
Photobucket.
http://photobucket.com/You need to sign up and register to take advantage of all the features but its Free, and there is no ongoing fee's to use it. Once off Payment of $0
Its very easy to upload files from your computer - you can search through your computer via the website ( It will look on the computer where your connecting to the internet from.
You can save them into the online album, upload to facebook, generate link codes all with a single click.
You can edit inside very easily, crop, add text, resize - these examples only took about 5 minutes to do and upload to here.

This was all done through the web - no real expertise required to rescale - you click on " SCALE " and it has predefined sizes or you can use a sliding scale adjusting tool.
VERY easy to use. - When your finished you click the link code and paste it into the forum, email it, upload it to facebook, whereever you need.
