Just trying to size my photo.

Just trying to size my photo. Hope I'm doing it right?

[cathyetta]

I can see that it is pretty small. What am I doing wrong? Using PS2. New to that as well. And not the greatest with computers either but I am learning.

Okay. I see if you click on the thumbnail then you get the bigger photo. Is that okay? I see other blogs where the photo comes out a nice size as you are viewing. I guess I will have to work on that.

cathyetta... I'll interrupt your dialog with your with yourself and share with you the secret of how to post larger pictures . Lots of us use Flickr to host our pictures and then essentially post a link back to our pages there. So then, you can copy the code from the flickr page for the medium sized version of your picture and it will show up here at approximately a 500 pixel width. There are other options than flickr too, so you can read in the FAQs the various ways you can post pictures. If you've still got questions, go ahead and ask, most of the time someone is around to answer

Btw, welcome to the forums. And I think that your picture could benefit from a square crop maybe to get rid of the bit on the right. Other than that, nice picture Nice and sharp.

Thanks Nicole for saving me from myself. Sorry for such a late reply, had to run off to work. Thanks for the info on Flickr. I will start to use it and thanks for the critique I think you are so right.

I am going to try another photo in from Flickr. I had to go with th small file. Medium too large. Now I will try to resize it again another way.

[cathyetta]

Same photo resized. I think I am frustrated. Photos are large and I would like to find the right way to attach them.

You should be able to click on a button that's over your picture on Flickr that says "All Sizes" if you click on the medium size and then look below the photo, you will see two boxes, one has much more information in it. If you copy and paste the text that's in that box into your post, it should paste the picture at the medium size (instead of uploading it to the forums). We'll get your posts with larger pictures yet Watch in a few minutes for a graphical tutorial on posting images.

Okay Nicole. I will try this.

You're almost there. Use the text from box 1 instead of box 2 on Flickr
