discussion 1/35th WW2 Photos sizing

[Chorbes123]

Hi All, this is my first post so forgive me if this topic has already been addressed. I am working on a "Great Escape" diorama, showing part of the underground tunnel and the internal part of the prisoner huts. I want to add some accessories, and in this case a couple of photos of a woman (his loved one) and a Platoon photo, pinned to the bed post. I have downloaded a couple of photos, but am finding it terribly difficult to reduce the size to fit the scale. Has anyone done this before or have any tips/alternatives on how to do this?. Thanks

What size in mm do you require them?
Also be careful downloading photos from the Web.
Some photographers search to see if their photos have been used.
If the search tool finds them an invoice often follows.

I use an app called Image Size.

You can load up an image and resize it to specific dimensions, either pixels, cm, mm or inches.

Around 2mm x 3mm. Thanks for the tip on downloads, will keep that in mind
