When posting an image here on SF, is there a way to make the picture smaller before hitting the "Post thread" button? Or does it have to be done before on my computer?
Thanks Rose, I didn't know that. Just tested it and it was easy.before you hit post reply, you can reduce the size.
click on the image
it will have blue corners
grab a corner and drag it inwards.
if you mess up just click edit
then try again
I've noticed this with some of the pics I've posted. Came up smaller once posted which is fine - better actually in some cases.If you upload the pictures from your computer/pad/phone, the pictures will be resized to no bigger than 800x800 automatically.
Oh I'm sorry , I missed this... yes it is free.. I'm sure you've found that out by now... sorry....Thanks, all! Holly, is that postimg site free to register at?
Hello Matrix,If you upload the pictures from your computer/pad/phone, the pictures will be resized to no bigger than 800x800 automatically.
800x800 is enough for most cases, it's also convenient without having to scroll back and forth on pretty much all screens. When the image quality matters, please use some image hosting site as Holly suggested.I noticed when I set my image sizes to 800x800 the board software significantly softens whatever image resolution for usual bandwidth reduction. Thus it is just not pixel dimensions that are taking a hit and my own opinion as a photographer the result is relatively poor compared to other boards. Because posting images is increasingly common and popular in Internet communities, it would benefit the board to increase somewhat both imaging parameters. Another way to reduce image bandwidth issues is by limiting numbers of images members can post on threads since there are always a few that not understanding computer BW issues may load many.
I didn't know either...I will try it next time I post a pix. ThanksThanks Rose, I didn't know that. Just tested it and it was easy.![]()
