Hey guys

Im having a problem posting pix on the bord , i think its because they are too large - Anyone know how to " Resize " The immage so it will post

Im using windows vista and my pix open with a program called NERO ... im a bit of an idiot when it comes to computers.

Any info would be great,

I use photo shop to resize my pics, but if you put your pics on photobucket, you can resize them on there.

This is what you want: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/bdsizer.html.  Resize to 600-800 px. on the longest side, and you should be fine.  Alternatively, photobucket will work, and gives you the tags and path to simply hotlink the image in your post, like this:

the paint program in your accessories will resize your photos.

the paint program in your accessories will resize your photos.

The weakness is that there is no way to set a target size, and highly imprecise.  make sure when you use "Image > Stretch/Skew" dialog, you use equal percentages in the stretch section.  Leave skew alone.  Otherwise, the image will be distorted.

So when in paint could i just put 75 X 75 and the immage shrinks down?

Yep.  if the image is 100 px. x 100 px., it will be 75 px. x 75 px.  Now, the caveat is that, I'm not real sure that it will end up the appropriate size for posting.  If you use something like BDSizer, you can be specific about the end size.  And on the other hand, photobucket is great because it resizes automatically, and once uploaded there, you don't have to attach anything here, or any other forums.  Just use the linking tags and code.

Personally, I think you'll like the photobucket solution the best.

I've heard something about photo bucket being ok.  

Yeah i herd the same .... where did i hear that ....

Gona get photobucket account later but use paint while im at work running to my toolbox between cars

Just sayin............ ;D ;D ;D ;D

For a simple resize, this is about as easy as it gets....single or batch
