i jsut got my first digi camera today and i took some pic of my car with the nw paint job. I can't attach the file because the file is tooo big. Any1 know how to resize the pic to fit. Let u guys know tha its the new nikon coolpix 3100

 

yes i'll fix it

send me the camera

 

what kind of photo editing software came with the camera? you should be able to resize the pics in there. if not, download a demo of adobe photoshop.

 

im using the nikon view software adn it has a button that cna resize teh picture.
i keep on pressing it and its still a big file.

 

i'd have to see the software to be of any help to you. if you want, you can email me the pics, i'll resize them and send them back to you

 

you got mail diabolical

 

You can resize pics the "old school" way--- using paint. Just open the paint program and "my pictures" or wherever you keep pics, and drag the pic you want to resize to paint. Then click on "image", a new menu pops up, click on "stretch-skew" and you will see

"Vertical 100%" and "Horizontal 100%"

Change these values to a lower number and it will reduce the size of the pic. Then save it under a different name.

 

i hope this works

 

thanks firebird 383

 

I have been having a problem posting pictures for some reason also. I have a digital camera and I never had any problems in the past, but it seems like lately when I try to post them they are always too big. I have PhotoSuite 4 that I use to resize them and I have to make them so small that the quality of the photo decreases. For example, the last post I made was a picture of my engine, below the engine pic is my sig pic taken with the same camera months ago. The sig pic is much clearer and is larger, when I tryed to leave the engine pic as big it would'nt post, it was like 132000 bytes or something.

 

hey 1990gta i just followed what firebird 383 had told me and it worked.

 

I've tried the same thing, but I still can't get mine to work. I can resize the pictures, but the files are still too big.

 

Well if the pictures are big to start off with, such as 1-3MB or something then you are going to have to downsize them quite a bit. They have to be under a certain size for the board to allow the posting of them. Try to get them around 500k or so and it should work okay. Also once you make the picture smaller like above, its best, if you know how, to trim off the excess white area.

 

No problem PHAT89TA glad I could help.

1990GTA and tamatt27: You may have to reduce the size twice. For example, if you change the values to 50% the first time and then reduce by 50% a second time, the picture ends up 25% its original size.

Once you save the resized photo, you can right-click on it and then choose "properties" to see the new size. Keep reducing it until it is within thirdgen.org's acceptable size limit.

 

Thanks, that worked great. :hail:
