I do everything with MS Paint and sometimes Irfanview. If I bother converting to grayscale, I use Irfanview.

In MS Paint, I either use a blank 600 x 800 image and then paste into it, or open the image and change through Image>Attributes.

If the image is too large, you can shrink the % through Image>Stretch/Skew.

When the image is ready to go, just copy it over to F:\linkss\screensavers.

Here's the blank template, though if you get comfortable with resizing and manipulating attributes, it's not really necessary.
