There's a program you can download called GIMP 2. It's an open-source version of Photoshop. Very powerful, but huge learning curve. But it's FREE, so worth learning.

Also in Windows Paint, you can change the Properties of any file opened, to change its width and height for a new blank file to the exact resolution you want. Then, open a second Paint to open your desired image, then copy-paste and scale it until you get what you desire.

Also, found this tutorial, and explains the menus as well. They say to use a blank thumbdrive, so no folders. Just drop em on the root of the drive.

I use a free photo editor online. It's flash based program that functions real similar to Photoshop

You can have them in folders too. I had them in folders on the thumb drive I used, and had no trouble.

Thanks,
you can go to this web site http://picresize.com and upload your own pictures then you can custom size it you can either do the 800X384 that it says you should have but the picture size will look stretch a little so you can play with the number a bit the best one the works for me was 650X384. good luck man!

Remember when the rebels used the binoculars to see the Imperial Walkers approaching their base on Hoth?

Oh yeah.

Super nerdy.

Oh and also the X-Wing's targeting computer.
