Noticed that some new members are getting a bit stuck on how to upload photos.  So I put this together.
To upload photos

1.  Use something like Microsoft Picture Manager and shrink to 100-200mb in size
2. Come on here and post a topic
3. At the bottom you will see a browse button click on that and pick the phot you want
4. Click preview
5. Repeat 4 & 5 until you have all the pics you want
6. Click submit post

Hope this helps

Thank you mrs fraggle I am sure that will be a help
I use pic manager too and resize them to’ web small’ which works wonderfully

Hello,

          Thanks for your suggestion about the uploading the images. I also use pic manager. But sometimes i face many problem to resizing it.

When in Picture Manager if you lookat the toolbar there is a button ‘edit pictures’ click on that.  A menu will pop up on the right.. At the bottom there is ‘change picture size’ click on ‘resize’.  Where it says ‘custom width and height’ put in the first box only ‘350’ or ‘400’ then click ‘ok’ at the bottom.  This will resize your picture.

If you need to crop, ie take out any bits you dont want shown, after you have got the menu on the right, you will see in the middle ‘edit using these tools’ click on the ‘crop’ button.  This will bring up little black edges at the corners and middle of the pic.  Just click on one of these and ‘drag’ to crop as needed. Then click on ‘ok’ when ha

Hope this helps.

Love jan xx

Sorry for appearing really dumb. Picture manager?? What is that and how do i find it on my computer? I have been unable to upload photos as it tells me they are to big.
Thanks

Jane

That is a windows picture programme Jane mine comes on automatic when I download a picture
then you can fix it from there
look in your programmes and see if you can see it, depends which version of windows you have
mine is vista xx

I also have vista. I’ve just looked in all programmes. I have windows photo gallery and snapfish but nothing else to do with photos

Thats it if you open your pics with photo gallery look at the list at the top and you will see ‘fix’
you can crop them there xxx

If you right click on the phot a little menu list will pop up.  Look for the ‘open with’ and you will see Microsoft picture Manager.  Click on that and it will open with the pic ready to be edited.  If you click on Edit picture s, then compress pictures (near bottom of list) then click on the web pages then ok.  This willmake the pic small enuf to be uploaded.

Hope it helps
