Uploading pictures

[Deleted Member D]

Uploading your pictures onto your post
You need to download a visual resizer onto your computor.
Try this - http://www.freeimagebrowser.com/resize/
Once you have it downloaded they are very easy to use.
Resize a picture from your pictures and save the new size back to your pictures then click on upload in the club gallery section.
Browse till you find your resized picture then upload to gallery.
If the new size picture is too big it wont upload onto the gallery therefore go back to your resizer and resize smaller.
Once your picture is on the gallery open it to its biggest size & right click on it, tap properties, hover over address URL & right click again, tap the 'select all' bit which will now highlight 'address URL', right click again, tap copy.
Come out of the gallery altogether and go into a new thread or a post you want picture on, go onto a new line in your post tap the [Img*] box above and outside msg box, right click & paste your pici then tap [Img*] again.
If you dont click on the [Img*] before & after pasting your image it will look like this ...

But if you click on the [Img*] before and after pasting your image it will look like this .....

When pasting make sure your cursor is in line with the [Img*] or below and within the txt box.
PM me anytime for help thru this process. :smile:

OK say your original photo is called "photo1", you then use some software of some sort to change it's size. Once you have changed it's size you click "save", this will save the new smaller size to your original photo. This means your original photo may well be spoilt forever. However if you use an option called "save as" which most bits of software have you can call it a new name such as "photo1a". Doing this means you have the smaller size file for web site use and your original unchanged. This comes in handy if you don't want to lose or spoil your original photo.

Once I've saved my new size to my pictures as '1' or '2' etc etc and uploaded it to where ever, I delete it. :?
But yes when 'save picture as' give the new picture you've resized a new title and then save onto your pictures. But your original picture will always stay as it was. :smile:

I've noticed now that we don't have to upload our pictures to the site (phew) a few people are hosting pictures elsewhere. Obviously thats fine, its just I've noticed a few photos are straight off other website - tyre suppliers for instance.

Anyway theres no need to save the picture to you computer and then upload it to a photo hosting site and then link to it you can just link direct to the original site.

In Internet Explorer if you right click the photo in question, click on proterties and then copy the link address (URL).

In Firefox and other such software, right click the photo and click on "Copy Image Location".


After that whichever software you're using just use the usual

format

Edit facility

Due to the 'edit facility' being taken from us, please see this as an amendment to my above post (first post).

It is no longer required to use the gallery as part of the picture upload procedure.
However you may still be required to use a resizer.

Good luck with your uploading.

The best free image converter/resizer is Iview, available here: http://www.irfanview.com/

Even pro-photographers sometimes user it, as it's way faster than Photoshop and will do batch resize/convert too.
