Double-click on your pic then go to the top menu "Tools" (or "Edit" for PC not sure) > "adjust size" and select a lower one, typically 1 notch will reduce the size tenfold. Alternatively go to top menu "File" (or Edit for PC not sure) > "save as..." and reduce the picture quality (lower resolution). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 If Stef's method doesn't work for you have you got Photoshop etc - these usually have a resize feature. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AlanT Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 A .jpg photo, whose size is 10 x 7.5in at 72 dots per inch, will want around 200K file size. For WEB USE these are almost identical to the 4MB version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MilesA Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 An alternative that works for me is as follows. If I want to post a photo here I export it from my Mac to Photobucket. The Photobucket exporter allows me to resize the photo before exporting. I resize to 'medium'. I then post the photo from Photobucket here. Ironically, I have not worked out how to post a photo here from my iPad (need to study the recent thread on this more carefully!) which is what I am using now. But an example can be seen on the TR2 - 3B section on the thread I started yesterday on loose pegs. That is a medium photo. Miles Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KOB Posted February 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Thank you for input. If I open my picture I have few options of what to open it with unless I import it into Word. How do I get a photobucket account this may be the easiest way forward I feel. I am running windows 7 Kevin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ashley James Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Flickr works well with Apple and offers a range of sizes. Dead simple. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
