I have managed to put one picture in, but the second one over rides the first?

Make sure your pictures have different file names i.e Rikki101 Rikki102 etc etc

Oh yeah Er One picture in where exactly, do you mean you have moved a picture into your newly created folder?

If you copy over the same filename again it will be overwritten.

Help...........The picture I've just posted is too big. How do I resize it?

Mr_Skint_2

Have you any imaging software at all? You can resize an image with http://www.tucows.com/preview/415342

Try it with one picture first, if you cant find a picture youve just moved
you might of moved them to a wrong folder... So go careful....

Hi Mr S

Can't you just right click on the picture and save it to say desktop until it's transferred to photobucket or wherever it's needed?

Yes you can save it to your PC first (prefferably My Pictures folder)
then upload to a photobucket account, but if its to big it still needs resizing
as big pictures on the forum create a bottom scrollbar, I find resizing or
cropping an image is more forum friendly to other users, and also in a .jpg
format it has a smaller file size thus taking up less server space.

I'll give it ago.

I just upset one of the other threads by posting too big. I've deleted it until I can resize it.

Yeah thats Ok as long as you know what 50% of the original size would be
thats why I prefer to resize my piccies Pixel X Pixel and then preview them
so I can tell what they are gonna look like. :beer: :beer:

It's usually too small in my case

How can you tell how big a picture is ... properties again? (I can't give an example - it's just something I've had to check occasionally)

Mr_Skint_2

Ok if you see a picture you like you can right click it and choose properties and then
you can see the dimensions if its over a 650 width and a 1100 Hieght (pixels)its
generally considered to big and thus needs resizing....
