cohofishing Report post Posted October 12, 2011 Hi, Having trouble posting pictures from Courtney's elk hunt. The files are too large. I have tried cropping them as small as possible but they are still too large. Any ideas? Brent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SunDevil Report post Posted October 12, 2011 instead of cropping them you need to resize them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scoutm Report post Posted October 12, 2011 If you use microsoft office picture manager you can edit the picture, choose the compress option in the resize section and i choose webpage and it reduces it but still shows a good size when posted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Rabbit Report post Posted October 13, 2011 There are some free downloads of image editors. One like Photoscape will will allow you to do basic editing and resizing the image. For the web, resizing to 800 to 1200 pixels wide is fine. Too wide, and it forces to scroll to see the whole image and read comments if the web host has no limits. People may hate you for posting images being too large. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rabbit Report post Posted October 13, 2011 Another option (besides resizing yourself and amking them an attachment in your post) is to use the photo hosting site "Photobucket" to post photos on the web. It will automatically resize the images. Then you can link the IMG tag from photobucket and the image will appear in your post when you submit it. Photobucket is free. A plus for using Photobucket is that those hosted photos do not use up Amanda's server space like attachments do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NRS Report post Posted October 13, 2011 If you are using Windows, go to start-all programs- accessories- paint and open the picture up in paint. Then all you have to do is "stretch" it to 50 or 40% and save it. It should be small enough to load then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
