Placing phots on message board
« on: July 08, 2009, 04:52:12 AM »
I have two old car clocks mounted in very nice homemade mantle wood pieces.  I think they are both Cadillac, but I can't identify them.  I am unable to get them on the message board, I am told the file is too large.  Can someone tell me how to shrink them, whatever to make them available on our site.  Tony

Are you using a PC?  "MS Office"? Click on the image(s). Click on "Edit Pictures", then "Resize". Click on "Percentage of original width x height"; type "50" (i.e. 50%) in dialog box.  See if that works.  If it doesn't, try "40", "30", "20", "10" until you get the image size small appropriately.

Depending on the resolution setting of your camera, your pictures may be HUGE!!!!!

With Ebay, I think they automatically reduce the size of any picture that is posted to what they require.

Bruce is correct, eBay resizes the pictures automatically.

Guess what the next question is gonna be.
