thewoodwhisperer Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Even though its under 4MB it still may be too large. What's the exact file size? I can't remember exactly what I set the Gallery at, but anything over 1MB per pictures is too large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jab73180 Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Something else you can do is nake a photo bucket account. You can post links to your pics to show what your talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just finished a box that makes me think of a tree made out of marble and i want to show it off. If anyone knows how to do it would be great.

In that program you resize pics. a good size for the forum is about 800x600.. hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I generally want to crop the photo the first thing I do (like cutting down the waste with your table saw). Just hold down the mouse button and draw a square around the part you want to keep. It can be adjusted after it's drawn, just grab the line and pull it the way you want. When you feel the crop is right, press [Ctrl] + [Y] (or click Edit > Crop Selection). 3) Now let's resize the image so it's more fit for posting OnLine, press [Ctrl] + [R] (or click Image > Resize/resample). What to resize the photo to depends on what you want to use it for but for general web-use i just type in 750 in the Width-box under "Set new size:". Make sure the "Preserve aspect ratio"-box is checked (it should be by default) or the photo will get warped. Hit OK. 4) When that's done you can make a quick auto-tune of the color by pressing [shift] + (or click Image > Auto adjust colors). If it's not an improvement just press [Ctrl] + [Z] to undo (or click Edit > Undo). 5) Save the photo as a new copy by pressing (or clicking File > Save as...). 6) Press [Page Down] to go to the next photo in the folder (or click the blue arrows), repeat from step 2 until all photos are done. 7) Upload the edited photos and post away! This might sound like it's complicated but once you've learned the keyboard shortcuts it's mayhaps the fastest tool for this kind of work - ever. And the little crop and color corrections often rescues those snap-shots that turned out not so good. It can also do a lot of other neat tricks like manual color corrections, batch processing whole folders, etc. etc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
