Graham,hows that happened,and why is it so small:?: :?:
I have just been reading the probs you were having and was just about to give up on the idea for good,but i must have done something right some where.Thre are 2 piccys so can i do 2 or more at a time or is it 1 at a time.
I 've got plenty of paracetomols in :lol:

p.s nice turnings.

Right, let's see if we can explain this one rather than just fix it

First up you've got all sorts or extra img tags and brackets [ about the place. You need a clean:

[img]IMAGE ADDRESS HERE[/img]

Instead of what you have, which is:

[/img][img]IMAGE ADDRESS HERE[/[/img]

So like this:

[img]http://s173.photobucket.com/albums/w57/Paul-Jay_photos/th_chuck1.jpg[/img]

Which should give this:

Now the size is because these image hostings places like Photobucket helpfully make a thumbnail size for you. I don't use PB myself, so can't tell you how to pick the right image, but I can edit the thumbnail address to make it BIG. Simple when you know; just remove the bit in bold:

http://s173.photobucket.com/albums/w57/Paul-Jay_photos/th_chuck1.jpg

Like this:

http://s173.photobucket.com/albums/w57/ ... chuck1.jpg

And add the img tags like this:

[img]http://s173.photobucket.com/albums/w57/Paul-Jay_photos/chuck1.jpg[/img]

Except it's a bit wide, so I'll get fancy and create a clickable thumbnail like this:

[url=http://s173.photobucket.com/albums/w57/Paul-Jay_photos/chuck1.jpg][img]http://s173.photobucket.com/albums/w57/Paul-Jay_photos/th_chuck1.jpg[/img][/url]

To get this:



Clear as mud...

Cheers, Alf

You don't need paracetamols when you've got an Alf :lol:

 

[Paul.J]

Alf i'm afraid it is as clear as mud.I was combining what Pete had told me to do with what Adam had wrote,which sort of worked i think.
This is why i didn't want to try and do photos as i knew how confusing it would be by what Adam had wrote.But i tdoes have it's benefits,so i will get back to Mr Percy Vere.
Graham i do need the paras (not them in uniform) believe me.

 

[Alf]

With all due respect to Adam, I think maybe the pic posting tutorial needs a bit of a revamp.

Cheers, Alf

[Paul.J]

SUCCESS.Well sort of,pity about the size.Could this be because it was scanned rather than a photo :?:
Anyway when i get some other piccys i will give em a go.
Thank all for your help.
Paul.J.

 

[Alf]

Paul, presumably you didn't resize the scanned image? If you use Windows XP there's a dead easy little doodah to adjust the size - go to the Power Toys page and ignoring the name :wink: download the Image Resizer. If you're using something else, come back and holler and I'm sure we can talk you through something fairly simple.

Cheers, Alf

Paul,

Its small cause you linked to the thumb nail, how about this:

Quite readable.

 

[Alf]

Readable, yes. Takes a while for the less broadband-enabled though...

 

[Bodrighy]

Thanks Paul & Dave, got it. Looks worth having a go at.

[Paul.J]

Alf- I have downloaded the image re-sizer.Is this just for scanned images :?: .
Is there a size a photo should be,if so what is it. :?:
I did forget to delete the th part of the last image.got too excited i think :roll:
Dave thanks for that.I did try the link you gave earlier but nothing happened,so i presumed that it was Adams tutorial,which i had read before several times.
Pete-Thanks for showing me what to do and getting me started,just got confused with the address part.Alf as made the other page bigger so if you like have a look at it.It does work :lol:

Hi Paul,

Don't be disheartened, you're doing jolly well. We've had much, much worse. :wink:

The image resizer works for all jpegs iirc, so it'll cope with shots from a camera too. Chas has a break down on image sizes here (under the UKW Forum Support) but I can't tell you what was best 'cos I can't open the link 'cos he used blasted Frontpage which has written the usual crappy code. There, I feel better now... :wink: Personally I settled on 640 pixels wide as a good compromise (can't remember why now) occasionally up as much as 800 if the image needs extra detail.

Cheers, Alf

 

[Bodrighy]

640 is usually the smallest size available on a digital camera and is aimed at use in e-mails and for the web. Ideal for this sort of stuff here.
In most reduction programs, the height and width will be altered proportionally but if it is a bit more sophisticated you may need to tick a box to ensure this happens.

There, there, there, whose a good girl really :wink:

It's not Frontpage by the way it's something to do with how Xara expresses its Javascript code. :roll:

Hello Alf.
Don't you go worrying yourself Alf i won't get disheartened,in fact i have managed to do some turning today and might if i can put a piccy on here. :wink:
But,now here we go again-where do you re-size the piccy :?: .I have looked in photo bucket and can't see where you can do anything.Alls that' s there is the thumbnail.So if i re-size before it's uploaded too PB will i still just get the thumbnail size.
By the way since i put those 2 piccys on PB it has been taking ages to get onto the forum,now i've deleted them everything is fine :?
