What picture editing software do you use?

 

[Nitric]

I'm not sure, I've never had a problem with this site, but all my stuff is antique too. What I did have to do before on a different site, was to crop the picture just a little. I'm not good with this stuff. Just saying what has worked for me in the past.

Maybe stand back further...

A picture copied off the internet. I just copied and pasted. With Windows 7 I don't really have a means to edit, unless someone can explain how with Win 7. It is a Legit picture, just too big.

I'm still using Vista, I just click on the third thing that looks like a picture or a tree, or whatever above. Then a window opens that says open from URL or computer. I click on from computer,then click Browse, Then when I find what file it's in, I click on it, then click on picture, then upload.

Sry, I'm not much help, and maybe your already way past what I mentioned above. Half the time I'm not even sure what I did, I just start clicking things until it works.

Right click..save image as..it will now be in the downloads section.
Then use the insert image option above.

It sounds more like your post was too long, not that the picture was too big... Had you written a long post to go with it.?

Use Paint, it will crop your pic. Right click over pic name and pick open with, then choose Paint. It's a MS editor for pic's and other stuff.

Then the link you copied to paste was too long.

As far as personal images, to make them smaller without any noticeable problems I use RIOT (Radical Image Optimization Tool) for JPG images.

It's a free utility you can get here: RIOT - Radical Image Optimization Tool | A free program designed to efficiently optimize images for the Web

I've always had to reduce my picture sizes to 5 MB and under to be able to post them on Tnet.

No, very little wording-maybe 10-12 words.

I tried Picture with no good results. I'll try something later after the Storm.

How do you do that?
What do you use to size the Pic?

I have Windows 7 and I use Paint program also....it works great to crop and resize pictures.
Ya might right click on the picture you are wanting to down load and click on properties, just to see how big it is. If it's too big, just resize it with Windows Paint....give it a try and tell me if that works!!

Can you give us a link to the pic? I believe you said it was on the internet, then we can try to post it (temporarily) and give you a hands on approach.

 

[Crappies-n-Coins]

Upload it to PhotoBucket, set the upload option to "forum-size" (480X640...something close to that.)

I gotta add, I've seen this title (of your post) a few times, and for some reason, EVERY time I do this song pops into my head:

The Musics too Loud

Thank you very much. See below ----it's the first pic in the link. I have Win 7 and I have Paint.

I'm still all for just clicking on things until something works or locks up! Hammers work on everything except computers! It's just not fair!
