Default How do I shrink photo's for posting?
I am trying to upload some photo's in the for sale section, but they are too large. Would somebody be able to explain it to me, how I shrink the photo's and use them as thumbnails, please. Pretty please.
I cannot host them, and would like thumbnails instead of others hosting them, so I can do it again in the future.
Help would be much appreciated.

Regards Trent.

Easiest way is to use a photo editing utility. There are almost as many of these out there as there are makes of cars. The digital camera you used to capture the photo should have came with some form of editing suite(though I dare say it 'could' be next to useless depending upon what they provided)
Your best bet would be to get someone to show you how to do it directly infront of you. What would take me a reasonable time to talk you through(depending upon the photo editing suite) I could show you in less time then it took for you to read this post.

If you go to the pull down menu up the top, look for Internet and go from there. You culd always mail them to yourself to se how they look..

another way in Zoom is to use th export function under the file pull down. Then I use edit/resave, and save them as a jpeg in a smaller size. There is a button touse to calculate the new size.
good luck and if all else fails pull the cord out of the wall....

Get yerself a copy of Irfanview:

http://www.irfanview.com/

It's freeware and it's absolutely brilliant! The only thing it won't do is make your coffee for you in the morning!
