I know some folks have been having issues getting images resized to post on the forum, and, of course, we all want to see all those pics of your chicks, wins, coops, and more!
So, in an attempt to help those who are having these issues, I found this site and jotted down these quick instructions.
There is a free online app where you can do some simple editing, including resizing, of your images, here:
http://www.picresize.com/When you go to the site, the first page is full of advertising (they gotta come up with some way to pay for the site, so it stays free for all of us!
)
In the middle of the screen you'll see an option to upload a photo, You can click on the drop down to select whether to upload it from your computer or an url. If the photo is on your computer, click from your computer, then just below that, click browse.
Find your picture on your computer, click open.
Click Continue
When the image is displayed, scroll down (about halfway down) to Resize Your Picture.
You can choose to reduce it by 25%, 50%, or 75%, or select a custom size. In most cases, selecting 50% will be suitable.
Once you've made your choice, scroll down to "I'm done, Resize my picture, " and click it
When processing is done, you can view the changed image, continue editing it, save it to disk, or save it web (must have dedicated server space for this)
It will display the results in size
Original 1926 x 1791 944 kb
New 963x896 272 kb
Ok, folks - let the pictures begin!
