New technology, foul mouth

My new toy is a Microsoft Surface Pro 4. My question throughout the research process was this - what do I lose if I use a tablet instead of a computer. Of course, there are differences. My question now is this - are these differences more like losses? Time will tell.

On my PC I used MS picture manager to edit pictures for my blog. Nothing sophisticated - just cropping and re-sizing, mostly. Occasionally red-eye removal and rotation. My new tablet has a program called *Photos* with all the standard edits I know from picture manager. Whew!

But, wait! One is missing - re-sizing. That is important to me.

Expert guy at MS store confirmed that *Photos* software does NOT provide re-size functionality. And he suggested Gimp, a free software package. Just downloaded it. So far, I am not entertained. It looks like the proverbial hand-grenade used to kill a gnat.

But. I did finally figure out how to re-size in it. This post is an experimental one to see if this will work OK.

Oh, and Happy New Year to you!

First up, a few pictures of the final gifts made for 2015:

OK, that did not work. No JPG extensions that I can find in GIMP.

So...I am asking you all - any suggestions for JPG image mods on a MS Surface Pro 4?
