Trudy Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 If you have not already done so, download and install IrFanView which can be found here. CLICK (800k) Open IrfanView click "File" then "Open" in the top menu bar select the photo you wish to optimize click "Image" then "resize/resample" in the top menu bar The bottom left box is the preserve aspect ratio, make sure it is checked so your image is resized without being smooshed in the set new size box, make sure the width and height are not larger than 400 make sure you select the "pixels" button. Lastly to preserve the quality select the RESAMPLE button on the lower right. It should look like this: Click "OK" Next in the upper left click "File" and then "save as" and save your image. Make sure that the JPG file type is selected, if not choose it from the drop down list.It should look like this: And presto, you are ready to upload to GT following the instructions on greytalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest greymom23 Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Okay - I am very computer illiterate, I guess, but when I downloaded and try it there is no files to be opened. I have plenty of Jpeg's in my computer, but how do I go to one to change it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest balfie Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Thats brilliant, thanks! Been quite lost not being able to post pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marion Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 I could resize the pic but when I tried to post it here, it didn't work...the 'dynamic pages are not allowed'-thing appeared. Why doesn't it work if the size is correct? Quote -------------------------------------------- Marion, Ivy & Soldi Perseverance is not a long race... it is many short races one after another.

Guest ss556 Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 I have the same problem as above. I used to be able to post pictures, but today, it won't let me. I resized everything as described above, about a month ago. It worked before. Send help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ejw Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Is the 60 KB rule still on? I can get my pics down to the width required, but I can't get it down to 60 KB using Irfanview even when I reduce the pic to terrible resolution numbers. Help, Please!

GreyTzu Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 Beneath the "GreyTalk.com" header is a line of words, Gallery Blog Contact... Click on Gallery and find your photo gallery. Follow the upload directions there. Quote Wendy and The Whole Wherd. American by birth, Southern by choice.

Jeff Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 As Wendy said, click the GALERY link. Make sure you LOGIN, the first time there you will not be automagically logged in. Also your photo album will not exist until you upload an image, Uploading creates the album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greypuppyluv Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 I'm having problems posting pics. I'm using Photobucket and it seems that every picture I upload to their site is condensed into a 160 pixels X 120 pixels picture. When I post those pics to GT, they appear really small. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Help!!
