Important notice regarding posting pictures
Can you please restrict the width of any picture you post to not more than 500 pixels wide. Any wider than this and it affects the formatting of the page. Of course the formatting of the page is dependent on your screen resolution, 600 pixels is OK for 1024 x 768 but please no bigger.
Thank you,
Eddie
I don't know what program you have Drew
But in Photoshop, when you resize the image you can check the box to resample the image and this minimizes loss of quality. There will of course be further loss of quality if you "Save for Web", which compresses the image at a fairly low quality. If everyone had broadband, it wouldn't be a problem posting large files but I try to keep mine under 40Kb for those who are still on 56K modems.

Photoshop is not the easiest program to use Drew
but it's worth sticking with for the quality of the results.

Apart from Jocke and Molle who are photographic geniuses :wink: :D
axiom.com has a free batch picture sizer that is easy to use
width of images - try this . . .
Hi folks,
I'm an amateur webmaster and also do my own HTML for eBay stuff. I am not familiar with BBCode though.
The forum software seems to accept the "width" attribute in an HTML 'img' statement, at least when I preview it. Below is an image from my website, originally 450 px wide, it is made 250 px wide by adding a 'width' attribute to the "img" statement.
Here is the HTML that brings up the image:
Don't forget to enable (uncheck) HTML before you preview or submit your post.
Here's how it looks reduced with the width attribute . .

Here's how it looks full size . .

The bottom line is that you can have the image any size you want without messing with the original, BUT - Eddie's comments about loading times still apply, so still try for those 50K files. BTW, some software that comes with cameras also allows simple picture editing, including cropping and sizing.

I must apologize for the size of some of my pictures. Some of them have been on my *webspace* for years. Would be a chore to reduce the width.
I am a new member, so, any new pix I post will be according to forum rules.

You can resize them dynamically with the HTML IMG tag - it takes width= and height= arguments. ;-)

On the server side, you've got to serve up the whole thing. On the client side, you've got to download whole thing. But, I suppose resizing them in this way is a reasonably good option.
Best wishes,

Welcome to the Forum, Tukjaer,
Having been on AOL dial-up at the house this past month (moved the HughesNet dish to the country residence), I'd say that the picture size is just fine, especially as it was JPEG'd down to only 117.13 KB - good job! 800x600 masterpieces, often saved at minimum compression (ie max file size), are too big to wait for - even at ~28Kb/sec (on a good day with a following wind).
The picture is fine, composition-wise, perhaps a little more contrast. Do you have a photo-editor?
Tissot - an under-rated manufacturer, IMHO,

There might be one hidden in your camera software for cropping, touching up, etc

Sorry, my mistake. :oops:
Re: Important notice regarding posting pictures
EDDIE:
Rules is Rules. They'r there for a reason. If they arn't adhered to, then they arn't rules,,,, they'r just 'suggestions'.
If you set a size of 500,,,, then 500 IT HAS TO BE. If we want to play the game,,,,, we do so by obeying the rules !
DREW:
Although I'm no expert with Photoshop, I have used it for a while. I find it dead easy to bring up an image,,,, then about a third of the way in from the left is a drop-down menu called (strangley enough) IMAGE. Open this & Click on the item called Image Size, which will open another menu, where you can alter things up, down, inches, pixels, etc etc.
I usually save my 'original' image first, then play with the copy (that way you always have something to fall back on if it all goes t*ts up). The top choice of this menu is width in pixels - enter whatever you need here & click O.K. The image will change according to what you'v put. You either Save it,,,, or don't.
If you save it then go to OPEN,,,, & just hover the curser over each file, as well as telling you 'Dimensions' i.e: What width in pixels it is,,,, it also tells you what 'resolution' it is - (some forums prefer a size in resolution rather than physical size))

Photo/Image Hosting:
Personally - I've just started to use Photobucket. I'm new to it (very) but am getting the hang of it, slowly !
good luck to you all

Re: Important notice regarding posting pictures
Hrmmm, i may have messed up with the pictures i have posted so far.
i have resized them, so taht they are no more than 800 pixels in hight or width, whatever is largest on the photo. Because that is what the page says when i tryied to post them in 10 mpixels :(
In others forums where i an posting, the forum resizes itself, and when you click the image you get it in full resolution.
But hasnīt time gone so far that pictures in 800 pixels are okay ? I meen i have a 27" monitor in 1920*1200 resolution and a 20 mbit Xdsl connection.
Peopleīs hardware and connections is getting better fast, 20" moniters i almost given away these days.
Re: Important notice regarding posting pictures
Few have monitors that large. Mine is still very much in the minority at 24", 1920x1200. Gamers think 22" is the sweet spot for price/performance. Many use a 15" laptop with 1280x800 resolution.
Again, comparatively few have more than an 8Mbit connection and most get far less than that in practice.
Bear in mind that the larger the image the greater the bandwidth Eddie's site uses - and it uses a lot already, which he has to pay for.
I don't have my browser full screen, but 'squarish' on my Desktop. Even so, a landscape 800x600 can make me scroll sideways, which is irritating.
