April Fly O' the Month - Leech Patten

[Rick Baerg]

Yes Rick I know but thank-you for pointing it out just the same. As you can see Steve Zissou posted it for me because I couldn't figure out how to do it. Besides I was not thinking my submission would be eligable for consideration as it was being submited late, I just wanted to put something in for a change. Hopefully I can get past bing computor-challenged and be able to do this for myself in the future.

Dave its easy to upload, the problem you are having is that your camera is most likely more than 5 megapixels, right. Anyways here are some easy instructions on how to shrink your image,

Every computer comes with the program "Paint"... Right click on the picture you want to shrink and "Open with" then select the program Paint.

Once its up and your picture in the the Paint program you will do this....

In the menu bar of the paint program, click on "Image"...

Then click on "Stretch/Skew"...

Then you will see a small box come up with the option to Stretch your picture "Horizontal" and/or "Vertical"...

Change those parameters from the "100%" that is shown, down to 40%...

This will shrink the size of your picture...

Now all you need to do is save the file and go back into your album and upload the newly edited picture...

This should get you well on your way to creating your album .I hope this helps , f you have any more questions, feel free to ask me.

We're looking forward to seeing all your great pics...

Yeah, Roger that, Rick.

I was just trying to help Macrib get the picture on the forums. Plus, I didn't want to upload it under my account and potentially steal some thunder.

Cheers.
