Jpg to Bmp

Is this the correct group for this question?

I have a Jpg which I want to turn into a Bmp and edit its
pixels.
I have done this by renaming the file and swapping the extension from jpg to
bmp. Next I want to change the pixels from 768x1024 to 120x120 of which i
used the attributes in Paint. I then re-saved it
but each time I open it it opens with the original pixel size, have I done
something wrong?
I am trying to make it my OEMLogo.bmp which is placed in my Windows/sysems
folder.

regards Jane

Thank you.
It took a combination of 3 programs to do it. I had to download 2 more.
Irfanview took care of one problem, Acdsee took care of another, and
ABCimage finished off the rest.
It was one of the most gruelling 4 hours I have spent to do just one thing.

the whole point is irfanview will resize the image without all the
unneceesary(cant spell) steps. when in doubt read the helpscreens
edit
resize
file
save as
"*.bmp"

Hi,

You must have done it the hard way. Really, Irfanview could have done it
all in a few minutes, tops. Open a jpg, rename & save it as a bmp,
edit/crop/resize the bmp, save it. Done.
