Can someone help me?

I want to post pics that I took of a NOOB trade.

Pics came out great.

Went to upload and am told the size is too big.

I don't know how to reduce the size.

Any links or advice will be very appreciated.

I'ts important to me to get these pics posted.

Thanks.

You must have typed too much text in the post message box. Try again and just be less verbose.

dammit Ed, this could have been fun...

Ha!!!!!!

Sorry...

The microsoft image resizer is the ticket.........but I hear it doesn't work with Windows Vista.

^^It doesn't. I'm still looking for one that does.

I must have said it wrong.

I need to know how to lower the KB of the pictures,hell I don't even know what KB is.

I cropped one that was 2.06MB down to 790KB.

I can't crop the others without screwing up the pic.

Cbid only takes pics up to 100KB.

Print the picture out, then erase all of one color (blue, red whatever)... if you have an inkjet that should be pretty easy.

Then scan the photo back in and it should be just about the right size.

google is your friend

#8.............your question has been answered in post #2.

OP -

You can't post them because I have invoked my Platinum Member's authority to have you blocked from further posting of pics since your last indiscreation.

BWHAHAHAHAHA

Hey give the guy a break.......we can't all be computer geniuses.

KB (kilobytes) refers to the size of the image (how much memory it takes up).

MB (megabytes are a thousand times bigger than a kilobytes)

You need to reduce the image size with screwing up the contrast/ detail.

A lot of picture viewing/editing programs will do this, but as mentioned earlier Microsoft makes a program that is free, safe, and easy to use that works really well.

Go to the link in post #2 or go to :

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx 

look on the left side of your scree towards the bottom; click on imageresizer.exe and follow the instructions to install it.

Once it is installed; it is simple to resize pictures.

Here is how...

1) Go to the place you have saved you picture; whether it be "My Pictures", or your camera card, or wherever.

2) Right click on the image file and select "RESIZE PICTURES".

3) Select "Small" then hit OK.

This will create a copy of the picture in the same directory/folder that will be small enough to post on CBid.

This process may seem like a hassle, but once you have the image resizer installed it is quite easy.

"right side of your screen"

sorry

re: 11, don’t you think it’s getting a little old? Also, didn’t Trish

But you have to understand that it’s not fun for us because noobs

think we are lying. So even though it’s fun for you all, it’s not for

us. We would appreciate you finding another way to have "fun".

I do have to admit, I get a Grin on my face, everytime someone brings

up "The Platinum Membership". Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha......I just know the next

day, they are going to be calling, trying to find out what they need

to join. And you just know, that no matter how many times you tell

them there is no such thing, they dont believe you. They think that

you are just trying to keep them out because they don’t qualify or

that it is a "Secret Club" and they don’t fit in. They think it is

some kind of "Conspiracy" or something. I can just hear them

now....".....but I bought over $100 of cigars last year from your

company, why can’t I become a member". LOL

Download and install FastStone Image Viewer 4.0 (http://www.faststone.org/index.htm)and then use the help files, or you can download the tutorial. This viewer allows you to quickly view pics/photos in most formats, edit, resize, crop, enhance, rotate, save in different formats and its free. I've been using it for a few years now and its the best one made for Windows.

TG - yeah... platinum membership is so passe.

I'm glad I got my diamond encrusted titanium cbid members card tho.... 🙂
