Very informative and helpful. Thank you!

Please don't quote an entire post with lots of pictures without a very good reason. Use the reply button, not the quote button (there's a difference ).

Is it possible for someone who knows iPhoto to write a tutorial? I apology for my un-savvy tech skills. I've been playing around with it for awhile. I re-size the pic to 150 x 150, but it doesn't save.

Thanks again for whoever can help.

Figured it out!

Steps using iPhoto

1) Select the photo you wish to upload.

2) Go to File

3) Click on Export

4) Resize the photo

5) Upload.

Since you have iPhoto, I assume you also have Preview, which is easier to use since you don't have to Import and Export every photo. Open in Preview; go to Tools > Adjust Size.

Hi,

I'm sorry if this is not the best place to put this question,but didn't find any better, and thought it was not worthwhile to start a new topic with this.

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to resize an image within a post, with some specific commands or parameters in html or BBcodes?

Made several attempts and all failed.

I know that if I've some large image I should resize it before and post here the resized image to save bandwidth and flickr offers multiple sizes for the uploaded images.

But if I've a small image that I want to display a bit larger, or I just want to do a small size adjustment among images, such option would be handy.

Thanks!

Hi Conchas,

Can I instead recommend:

i. Just adding links to flickr to take advantage of he availability of multiple resolutions.

ii. Small image a bit larger.....not much to be gained by doing this...better to post the small image and let the reader zoom in if you don't want to link an 'enlarged' version externally.

I know this doesn't answer your question...but I'm not aware that what you are after is possible.

Hope that's a little bit helpful anyway.

Happy bricklaying,

LLL

Ok thanks!

That's what I'm just doing.

Was just looking to get a bit more of it, as it is possible to do in some other forums. But if we can't, that's fine ayway!

Thanks once more!
