Title: Re: 2020 PITH
Post by: JackCrafty on June 15, 2020, 11:43:42 am

JEB, just flip the phone to landscape mode when taking the picture... so that you are taking a wide picture instead of a tall one.

If you use the "Attachments and other options" feature to upload photos to the forum, it will "squash" tall pictures (or portrait type photos).

Of course, I had to resize the photos as well before I attached them. I used the "thumbnail" option on my free photo editor (0.25 MP).

Title: Re: 2020 PITH
Post by: mullet on June 22, 2020, 11:08:26 am

Ben, did you ever get the points I sent?

I got mine Don. I’m sorry I haven’t gotten pictures yet. Maybe today. It’s been crazy around here. I’m sure glad I got mine made when I did, because I haven’t had a chance to do anything since.

 Thanks for putting on the PITH.
