*computer question* HELP!!

[wildhorses]

how can i resize my pic for my journal? it is way TOO big. Where do I go to minimize it?

1. Me

I would resize it using an application then upload the resized version. You can do it in MS Paint, although Paint Shop Pro, Photoshop or The GIMP will undoubtedly do a better job.

2. swoosh--

that is the sound of all that mumbo jumbo going right over my head:cry:

i think i have something on here that will do that --i will try

will it resize my original or just the one i want to post on here?

[billyskank]

3. You must have an image file that is the original, yes?

I would resize that. I would make a copy of it first, though. (You know, ctrl-c ctrl-v, that old thing).

I would resize the file using some image editing application, such as: MS Paint, The GIMP, Paint Shop Pro, Photoshop - whatever you have available.

I would then upload the resized version to Photobucket or whatever, and use that.

What I would not do is try to use the resizing tool in Photobucket/whatever, because I see so many people having unintended effects when they try to do that.

4. Post it here and I resize it for you - just let me know how big you want it. (nt)

6. thanks. the original is in kodak easy share and somehow

it is not letting me open it. it says it is in my c drive...

anyway i want it small enough to fit in the right hand margin of the journal

showing my ignorance to all you smart people :blush:

7. This should fit. Tell me if it's still too big/too small:

9. thanks CMW--i am working on it...BRB

:hug:

10. i think that did it!! Thanks!!

11. It's fine, the only problem

are the pics you have added from your posts - they stretch the middle box. :hi:

[wildhorses]

13. yeah, i saw that--but...i still like having them in my journal

for just a little while longer. I wish we could see the number of views to our journal, like we now can our threads. That would be more helpful to me. Although i am really keeping my journal for myself. if it was secret stuff i would hide it but, in case people are interested it is there to view at their leisure...i am just curious as to how many of us actually take the time to look at others journals...i go to others but, am really NOT taking advantage of it the way i should.

thanks again:hug:

8. I like Irfanview.

Simple resizing through that free program.

12. thanks flvegan--i will look into that.

my problem is with kodak easy share. it will not let me grab the pic :shrug: something about it

has been either moved or renamed and is in my c drive somewhere:eyes:

all my pix in kodak easy share that have a jagged line in the right hand corner say that same thing:cry:

you computer people would probably laugh at the way i maneuver thru cyber space;)
