hey, how do I control the size of it? Mine is always too big :-( I want it to be more like rainy's. Is there someone who can help me learn to control this size problem?

― Wiggy (Wiggy), Sunday, 4 September 2005 21:24 (nineteen years ago) link

Alex's is big tho too, maybe it's ok if it's that huge?

After too many drinks, staring the camera down. Looking like a strange cross between my mom and my cat.

haha Wiggy, you are so getting in the out of context thread for that line!

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 4 September 2005 21:40 (nineteen years ago) link

As for image size: it's file size that determines how long it takes to dosnload, which is the issue that can upset people, much more than how big it looks on screen - you should be able to make choices about size and image quality in most any image editor.

No, but I'm...er...dying to (sorry).

ARrrgggh! Martin, I am SO busted on this You're posting my post to the hall of shame. *hangs head in shame*

Silly me, Not just once did I do it, but twice! Duh! I really need to READ what I write before just clicking submit.

On the er...topic of IMAGE size I will look to see about it in MS P!ctur3 !t. What IMAGE size is proper for posting so as not to annoy people who have slow downloads?

omg that sounds like fun

― phil-two (phil-two), Sunday, 4 September 2005 23:18 (nineteen years ago) link

Wiggy, I'm not sure how MS picture it works, however you should convert it to 72 DPI. You should be able to select an option "Actual Pixels" or something like that. If it says the scaling is 100%, thats fine. Now if it looks about the right size on your monitor, then it's good to go. Save and upload.

― Bombed Out and Depleted / Kate (papa november), Sunday, 4 September 2005 23:23 (nineteen years ago) link

Chazzer is so freakin' cute. Love the hair!

― pebbles ƒur¥ (Je4nne Fury), Sunday, 4 September 2005 23:43 (nineteen years ago) link

Wiggy, Kate's right, though most picture programs won't know boo about 72dpi vs 300dpi, except PhotoShop. You'll probably be looking at the pixel count, and anywhere between 400 and 600 pixels wide should be fine for these threads. That would put it about halfway between rainy's and your original post.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Monday, 5 September 2005 00:29 (nineteen years ago) link

(as a reference, rainy's pic was 240 pixels across, and alex's was 800 across)

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Monday, 5 September 2005 00:32 (nineteen years ago) link

that's me on the right there

I guess that's because I spend most of my time on ILM. I figured September was a great month to join the vanity thread. Thanks for the compliment, Trayce.

Ooooh, vanity thread. Maybe I should start posting to these again.

Like Alex, I guess, I'm mostly in pictures these days when I happen to be in proximity to the kid. From the last few weeks:

Machoest picture ever!

Wiggy, when I was on slow dialup I didn't care how big a pic looked, I cared whether it took a long time to load, which is about file size, not image size. On my website I try to stick under 100K for images, and often it's easy to be under 50k. Go with JPEGs, is my recommendation.

wiggy, if you go into photobucket and click "edit" over the specified picture it gives you the option to reduce the picture by 25, 50 or 75%. it looks just fine as it is though.

I think you all look simply fabuluous! The kids are all cute as can be.

Special thanks to all who have helped me with the image size thing. I like this monthly what do you look like thread cuz it helps me get an idea of who's who on the board; although you all switch names so often I sometimes am hopelessly confused by it all. It is fun nonetheless. Also, I just like pictures. I like to take them and see them. Pictures of people, things and places. Like the B&Ws by gypsy mothra a lot.

YAY FOR PIX!
