Hi Patti,

You have to follow the directions to the letter. You need to click on Post to have the attachment show up. It won't load using the preview button. I did the same exact thing as you did, that's how I know,  ;) .

Okay...too big...
(how do I know what size a pic is...and if I crop it, is it less than 100mbk s or whatevery?)
Thanks Dom...took your advise

Patti

Okay...190 mgs (no, not miligrams..whatever).

It's a 'regular' picture MB...can I make it 'less' mks or ??

Patti

Looks like all my pics of Tommy are all over 100 mbs.

How do I make them 'less'?

Well, with most graphics software, you bring down the "Edit" menu and there should be a choice that says something like "resample," "resize," or "redimension". Click on whichever your software has. Then after the resize window comes up, enter "528" in the the first box. Clicking the TAB key should automatically fill in a value for the second box, then click "OK". That should give you a smaller copy of your pic and then you can save it on your hard drive by using "Save As" from the "File" menu and by using a different name so that you don't overwrite the original pic.

I hope that helps. :)

I wouldn't say that they'll waste a lot of space, but as with OT posts, we'd ask that OT attachments please be kept to a minimum.  ;)

MB, I've been trying to resize my photo's too but when I hit my "edit" button, I don't see any of those options that you had posted in your above post?  Is there some kind of program that I need to download to do this?

Cassandra,

You didn't say what you're using, but if it's one of the image viewers that comes with Windows then you'd need to purchase the graphics software (assuming you don't have any).  Which one would depend on what you want it for (what else besides resizing images?), your operating system, your budget, your skill level, the features you want, etc., so you'd need to do some research.

I don't know if I'll phrase this right; but for me; I had to go into PhotoAlbum, edit or something; it wasn't just clicking to re-size. (Like almost re-store them.)

Hope that helps Cassandra :-*

 Thanks Midnite & Patti!  Im using Windows XP.    I really just wanted the feature that you could use for re-sizing and nothing else because I seem to always have problems with pictures being too large whenever I try to post them somewhere.   I do have a program that came with my computer that's called "Wizard"  and I've used that to re-size my photo's, but for some reason it doesn't work with GIF's.   I've looked at some free programs on the web but not sure just how trusting they are so I figured I'd have to end up purchasing some sort of program.  My daughter has a program called "Photoshop" on her computer so I may wind up using that one.

Patti, did you have to purchase yours?
