I have had quite a few people ask me about how to resize there photos so that they can upload them to the XL Gallery.

Well you can get a good FREE program that makes it easy to resize the one or multiple photos here: http://www.virtualzone.de/resizer

And here's the one I use..

XP PowerToys (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx)

Its about 3/4 the way down the page called "Image resizer"

Its the simplest and quickest one I've ever used.

Just right click on the pic, click "image resize" and choose the size ya want or make it a custom size.

All done in 10 seconds.

I've been using that one since Microsoft released it. It rocks!

All good and well...I am going to download it, but what size do you choose?

Nevermind...I chose 640 x 480 and it worked just fine... thanks for the "heads-up" on XP PowerToys...:urock

Bplinson,

I tried yours and it works just as good.

Thanks:clap

hey guys, I've been trying to add to my photo gallery, just redone my scoot. The computer keeps tellin me my file is too big. I used one of the resize programs listed in these threads, the gallery said my photo was uploaded successfully, but it doesnt show up. Ant thought...love to show y'all my winter work...charlie

Give it another try now. I have cleaned up the uploads directories.

After resizing and attempting to upload, I can't seem to get my pic into my signature. I was able to upload the same pic (larger size) into the gallery though. Any advice?

it says that file is the wrong format

Make sure you've saved the pic in jpeg format. Other formats work (not all) but jpeg gives a good balance of pic quality and file size :)

This is what I use and it's reasonably simple and a free download

Another option is to pay your dues and become a member!!!! this allows you to post more photos and of a larger size.

Any of those programs work with vista?

Anybody Know?

Give it a try.

How do I resize photo's hosted on another website? Is it possible to keep the original size of the image on the host website but have it appear smaller on this forum? Or do I resize the photo before adding it to the host website?

That's my new Pingel Flame Petcock, if you couldn't see it in the picture.

That pic is WAAAAAAY too big for posting on internet forums.

Max comfy size should be around 1024 X 768, but 800 X 600 is pretty much the norm
Your pic is also too large in the file size. Its nearly 1.5 MB and takes a fair while to load for those of us with slower internet connections.
Under 500 KB is a better size.

In answer to your question, you need to download the image, resize it, and upload to wherever you store you pics. :)

I KNOW!! That's why I asked the question. Thanks for your advice. How's this?

Much better. Still a big file size though, but better.

You only need one set of IMG tags though
