Need an asap!!! Does anyone know how to change a photo size so that it measures 5"×3.5"?

Everytime I take photos out to be printed, the shop people point out that it's not standard sized (in my country). I've tried adjusting it in the camera itself but I can't. apparently the only way is to change the pixels of the heigh and width, but I don't know how! Plus, I don't have photoshop so editing is a long, hard process on Windows Live Photo Gallery.

Thanks in advance for your answers.

    There are good image editing programs around, including free ones. Gimp is a very big and involved program. Irfanview can do a lot less, but it is also free and very good at what it CAN do (including resizing and cropping).

    Get a program and start playing with it, reading the help files and reading some tutorials about it. It takes some effort, but it is worth it.

    IF your lab only prints 4x6, you can open an image editing software and make the "image size" 3.5 x 5, and then change the "canvas size" to 4x6. You will have to trim off the extra white or black border with a pair of scissors or a paper cutter.

    Sorry, I know of no other solution.
