Posted October 25, 200519 yr comment_142977 Just spent an hour trying to post some pictures and none of them would take. I check their size and realize they are large files but can't figure out how to "trim" them down to get the server to take them. Posted what I could, but they su^& in comparison to some of the others I wanted to post.Any ideas?

October 25, 200519 yr comment_142988 You need to get a hold of some sort of picture program if you're using Windows OS...for instance, I use Photoshop, which easily reduces the size of your images. Try Photoshop Elements, which will run you from $50 to $100 at any computer store.Reducing the size doesn't make the images smaller (well it puts them at 1024x768) but takes out some of the detail that isn't needed...like reducing music to MP3 format.

October 25, 200519 yr comment_143011 If you are on a Windows OS, you can do the reduction in MS Paint. No need to spend $50 to do this. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/17736-regarding-posting-large-mb-images/#findComment-143011 Share on other sites More sharing options...
October 25, 200519 yr comment_143051 If you are using Windows XP there's a free set of tools from Microsoft called PowerToys that makes resizing as simple as right-clicking on the file in explorer and telling it to re-size. It will optionally keep the original and create the smaller file with a new name. Here's a link to all of the PowerToys:http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspxHere's a direct like to the image re-sizer tool:http://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/Install/2/WXP/EN-US/ImageResizerPowertoySetup.exe Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/17736-regarding-posting-large-mb-images/#findComment-143051 Share on other sites More sharing options...
