jaylael Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 The topic title says it all. I just became a TC supporter and wanted to celebrate with a photo of my latest creation, but the images are too large for TC software to permit them going on. Can anyone explain how to resize them? Thanks in advance, Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marky boy Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 HI there Jay, I really struggled with this for ages and i asked Andy this a couple of times but he got sick of me being pc useless i guess ,so used my noddle and typed it into google. It came up with this site which is the one i now use to upload pics onto this site. Hope this helps http://www.resize2mail.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 The easiest way I found is to try to e mail the picture, this automatically asks if you want to resize and then does it for you, save to desktop ready for posting, easy!

dabnabit Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 (edited) Irfanview is a free image program that you can resize the photos. Or send me the photo and I'll resize for you. Edited April 12, 2007 by Dabnabit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomant Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 This is a great piece of free software from Google called Picasa - Get it Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaylael Posted April 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Sorted! Thanks for all the great advice! It occurred to me that I could just put the photos on yahoo's Hodaka group, nip them off there and wala! They are downsized. Dumb people have to go about things differently I suppose.

dabnabit Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 It's best to still have something on your PC to do the photo alterations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaylael Posted April 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Thanks again all! I tried Marky boy's web site first and it works quite nicely. I had no trouble whatsoever. It even allowed me to rotate the image. Sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcgods Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 Another good image editing app is The Gimp. It is a Photoshop clone and is 100% free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaughan Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 I now know of several ways to resize photos but how do you get the photo on the page, as a large photo and not as a Thumbnail or a Link ? You can guess im not an IT expert, Cheers, Vaughan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrybaines Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Use a hosting site like photobucket then copy and paste the "tag" line under the image you upload Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniperx Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 (edited) Use a hosting site like photobucket then copy and paste the "tag" line under the image you upload absolute easiest I found is a free program calle pixresizer. it is super easy, and you can save as any size and rez and also aspect ratio.
