Don't tempt me blues/Doc. I am really at a huge crossroads in my life right now. I could go in any direction at all.

Hmmm! what are the sausages like in Canada?

Hi Blues/Hi Doc

Many things possible. Meditating at this moment on that little item of cash and just how expandable I can make it.

Can anyone help me with sizing photos before posting them on the TMW site. I have Photoshop elements 4 on my PC. So I use it to cut down the size of the photos before I ship them to Photobucket. I then paste a link to set them up as images on TMW. But no-matter how small I make them in Photoshop, they always appear the same size on TMW, and that always just a little too big.

Have you tried setting the size in centemeters?

When you go into resize photo on photoshop it should give you the option of how big the picture will be in inches/cm and below that how many pixels per inch. If the pixels per inch are higher than the monitor's resolution per inch your computer will blow up the photo to show the pixels it would have lost at the original size.

So lets say your monitor is 100 pixels per inch, you have a photo that's one inch wide and 300 pixels per inch, you computer will blow it up to 3 inches wide. Well at least mine does.

Not sure about on here but, with html, you can set the width and height in pixels; {img width=300 height=200 src=www.location-of-image/name-of-image}

Hi Kitty/Scout

Thanks for the advice, I'll try it out and see what happens.
Problem is, I just don't have so much time/patience to play around with it.

cheers

If you don't have a photo suite, then open your pic in "Paint", (assuming your using Windows, it's located at Start/All Programs/Accessories/Paint) Using the Stretch/Skew tool under Image on the menu bar, set a percentage of your picture's size in the Stretch boxes, use the same % for both Horizontal and Vertical.

If your digital images were taken at a high res, then your may have pics that will be up to 45 inches across, so using a setting of about 15% will give you a picture about 6.75 inches wide.

Save the resized pics in a seperate file by using the SAVE AS command under File (you can rename the files at this point if you want) and DON'T save changes to the original pic when you close the image unless you want to lose the original picture resolution and size.

You can't go back to the original size and res after you've saved changes to the original, which is why you save those changes only to the SAVE AS pic in a new file....


Make any sense???
