I got two of my birds posted in the carver galleries in the Birds area and I started my members area gallery. I have a third bird to post, but the system will not take it. I guess the file is too big?? Any sugestions on how to change the size of it. Duncan

First, try the instructions (link) below - posted by BobD some time ago, or search "resizer" and MANY posts will come up to give you options.

PS - Nice job on the Finch and Titmouse.

Re: A question....picture sizing?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Deborah,
Check out this link...

The easiest thing to do is to download the software Rob suggests. Then put your photo on the desktop, right-click on it, choose "resize". This will bring up a new dialog box...click on "advanced" then you can size it to 480x640 easily!

Call me if you need help!

Bob

Thanks Mitchell, The link keep comming up unable to find, for my. I used my head and did a search of threads and found one where someone used Adobe Photoshop to resize a pic. I have Photoshop Elements and it worked great. Thanks for the advice and the review. Duncan

Why not download this free program and the plugins.It works great and a perfect tool for us carvers.I take any picture or pattern and make it the size I want to carve and then print it.Very is to work and open any file .

Thanks a lot for the link, Shimmy! I've been needing that kind of program. Now I won't have to keep running back and forth between computers to resize pictures!

Awesome birds, Woodcarver55555. I really like the titmouse.

Hi, Hi O Silver
The plugins allow you to open up the different files which otherwise you could not.I suggest you go to the site and click on whats there and you will understand it.There are loads of things you can do with this program.You can not want this.

Are you sure thats what a plugin is? My kids tell my thats that the holes are in the wall they plug everything into and thats what the fat thing is on the end of every cord they plugin. They also pull a lot of plugins off the cords because they JERK the plugin out of the wall be pulling the cord and not grabbing the plugin. David is grown and has his own place now. Now I charge him money to repair his plugins. Now somehow he has learned how to bend at the waist and grab the plug to unplug things. I guess parts and labor mean something to him now.
