Resizing images?

This came up before, over at GZ Talk.
That's a DR7 spectrum. It's 850x680 pix, which is too big to display in the main panel of this Talk thread.
How to resize it? Make it 640x680, say?

Jean resizing is an option, but is just another step in posting which makes it even more of a pfhaph (but I do most of this on a tablet at the mo which makes it worse, currently on a breakfast shift in the bar). The other option is to include a link to the full image so peoples can go look if they need too - eventually you kinda get into the habit of cropping things so the interesting bit is on the left

Mitigation: post it as a link instead of an image.
Sorry @wassock i didn't catch your jargon "a pfhaph (but I do most of this on a tablet at the mo which makes it worse, currently on a breakfast shift in the bar)." Have you a translation in french (or in plain english) ? Thanks

in response to C_cld's comment.
Pfhaph (pron. Faff) a complicated or fiddly process, typically involving much effort for little gain.

Brooke/vrooje posted a simple means of resizing an image, over in GZ Talk, based on her understanding of garden-variety HTML. Unfortunately, her demo may have messed up every downstream post (because this version of Talk is not garden-variety), so I'm not about to try doing that! (it's a very simple thing, but if the possible consequences are dire ...).
The link to the source - in my large images - is, obviously, embedded in the image itself. Makes sense to post it separately as well (just a couple of extra keystrokes), so I'll do that from now on.

OK Jean - not strictly needed I know, but there are a surprising number of people out there (not necessarily here) who don't know what the right button on the mouse does
