I TRIED POSTIN' SOME PICS BUT GET A MESSAGE THAT THEIR TO BIG. I'M A CAVEMAN AT THIS STUFF SO PLEASE EXPLAIN IN LAYMENS ( CAVEMANS) TERMS. I GUESS I NEED TO MAKE THE PICS SMALLER SOMEHOW. RIGHT NOW THEIR ON MY DESKTOP ....SO HOW DO I MAKE 'EM SMALLER ?
-
.... If you have paint on your desktop go to it and then go to attributes in image and resize try resizing them to 640x640--see if it works--trust me Iam a caveman at this also, try lower cas when you post messages so you dont sound like youre shouting........................bob

640 x 640 will throw them out of proportion. Go with 640 x 480 to maintain the original proportions and not make the pictures look stretched.
-
After many frustating years and blurry pics I finally figured if I set my camera at the lowest quality picture setting the pics will come out 640x480. Just right for posting. It works on both of our dig cameras. Both are HP but 2 differant models. Pat

Pat, you can usually control the size and quality seperately on the camera, you should be able to take 640 x 480 pics that are still good resolution. 726whk, most computers have some kind of photo software on them. When you open the pic, your computer probably uses this software to display it. When you click on the "edit" or "image" tab near the top of the screen, there should be a "resize" option.

Steve, I tried those things over the years and never got good pics for the PA site. I had no prob e-mailing pics, just posting them on PA. Making the adjustment with the camera solved it. The software that came both of my HP cameras has "resize" options but I could not get a clear pic when I used it for resizing the pics for PA. Pat

sorry about the caps guys....old habit cause it's easy for me to read and pick out my stuff from everybody else's, never figured it to mean i was yellin'. Ok i went to "paint " and did what kowechobe said to do but then what? how do i save that setting?
-
well i played with it some more and i still can't get it done. also when i try to make a post, i click on preview and ....no pictures. These da$# contraptions just frustrate the heck outa me !!!!
-
726wk--when you do the resizing in paint, do as others said resize to 640 width x480 height. Then you should see something that says APPLY or ok--press that. That should reset any new pics you put on to 640x480--seewhat happens.........bob
-
Put your pics in My Pictures on your desktop--try putting a new one in and see when you hit preview if it comes up ?.bob
-
when i do that does the picture i want to resize need to be up on the screen ?
-
alright...i don't have much hair left but i'm fixin' to pull the rest of it out !!!! I put the pics in "my pictures" on my desktop and then clicked on one to open it up then i went to paint , image, attributes , changed the numbers to 640 and 480 then clicked on ok. but when i clicked on properties the size of the picture said it was bigger , what the %$#^ !!! i know this can't be that hard. what am i doin' wrong ??
-
If you resized, the puter will do it for you--you dont have to resize each picture--like I said try a new one--it should automatically be resized yo 640x480--you willsee it on bottom of pic.......bob
-
What do ya mean try a new one ? you mean take another picture with a digital camera or just another one in my files on the computer ?
-
Try another one in your files in the puter.If that dosent work take another pic--anything will do, all you want to see is the size............bob
-
DONT HIT PROPERTIES!!!!!!!!..bob OK---frustrating I KNOw -only ook me months to figure it out. PUt pics in my pics on puter--then--paint-image-attributes-resize to 640x480-hit ok--back to my pics--pull up a pic-preview--should work....bob
-
AAAARRRRRGGGGGGGGG nope....ain't workin'. when i go to preview my post no picutres show up. am i supposed to click on somethin' in the preview to bring it up ?
-
When you post --look at bottom left of post--it will say additional options-click that--then in middle it will say browse-click that--that should bring you to paint on left side of screen-select pic then hit browse again-and keep doing that to post pics-up to 6--DO NOT hit preview or spell check on bottom of screen--when youre finished hit post..................see what happens.......bob oh yeah-dont use preview on bottom of screen-use preview in popup that comes up when you want to view pics
-
A for instance--when you go to paint left click and hit select for pic you want

This is so funny. (but, now its my turn....and it isnt so funny.)
but, I still get a chuckle reading this thread.

You can go to the HP website and download HP Image Zone. Inside it select the pic you want.....click on the edit tab at the top.....click on the resize tab on the left......choose any of the regular sizes ...(ie; 4x6, 8x10) and then save as and save with a new name. That way you can post the new pic with the lower pixel rate and still keep your high res pic on your pooter ;D

Here is a great viewer and editor...
Makes resizing simple and will keep the aspect ratio so your photo don't become distorted..

imgur thumbnails tutorial
append letters to filenames to post thumbnails instead of full size pics when using imgur
For example, the image located at https://i.imgur.com/sOhXV1F.jpg has the Medium Thumbnail located at https://i.imgur.com/sOhXV1Fm.jpg
The thumbnails are:
s = Small Square (90x90)
b = Big Square (160x160)
t = Small Thumbnail (160x160)
m = Medium Thumbnail (320x320)
l = Large Thumbnail (640x640)
h = Huge Thumbnail (1024x1024)[/quote]
when the appended filename in the hyperlink is enclosed with img tags by selecting the hyperlink with your mouse in and clicking the insert img icon above, in the editor menu, the thumbnail itself is posted rather than the hyperlink,
(https://i.imgur.com/sOhXV1Fm.jpg)
and of course, clicking on either link will direct your browser to the respective sized pic at imgur

there are many free services online that will resize images for you
just search for "online resize image"
pick one result
upload your original images and download the resized images
images usually comes in 3:4 or 16:9 ratio so just set the biggest dimension to 640 and let the computer set the other according to ratio
