Need help posting photos

I tried to show off my papaya plants but the post was rejected because it was too large. I uploaded four pictures to photobucket because I couldn't figure out how to get the pic info out of the browse link here at the post site. It seems that my photos are being reduced. Please advise.

Do you have software to reduce the size of your photos? Many of the programs that come with cameras have it included. There are also some available on the internet. The other way is to change the resolution size on your camera so that it records smaller images. I don't use Photobucket but I thought it stored photos in 3 sizes and you could link to one of the smaller ones instead of the large one. Hope something out of all that might help, good luck.

Happy,

There is a program called paint that comes with windows. You can resize your images in that program. After opening up the image that you want to resize in paint, go to "resize" which is on the home menu. A small box will pop up and it will say "resize and skew". On the top of the selections it will say to resize by percentage or pixels. You can use either to make your images smaller. I have a 16 megapixel camera and I usually cut the resolution in half and the images upload. So you could resize by putting in 50% and that would cut your images in half. Since I don't know your resolution, not sure if that will make the image too small or big but you can adjust it accordingly.

Hope this helps.

I use PhotoBucket, though there are other free photo storage websites available for use. Just locate the one you want to use, create a free account, and upload your pictures to your newly created photo album. There are tools you can use to resize pictures so they're not too big... some are still dependent on dial-up, and very large pictures take a long time to load and view. Once you have your pictures uploaded and sized, you would want to copy and then paste the HTML coding for the desired picture here, in the body of the text message. If you choose PhotoBucket, that would be the 3rd option under each picture. You would choose HTML. For some reason, I have to use the Control+C keys to copy photos, but pasting them is just a right click, and then paste. I hope this helps you somewhat.

You need to upload the photos directly into the post. When you click into the "Write a comment" box a menu will appear below with a camera icon. When you click that you'll get a dialogue box that allows you to navigate to where the photos are on your computer. You can upload multiple photos into the one post. The uploaded photos will show up in your post before you submit, ie a preview without you having to request a preview.

I have noticed that photos taken with a phone look the same or smaller when clicked on than they are in the post. I don't know if you are using a phone, but if so you should check out a resizing app. Here is one REVIEW of several. Regardless, try enlarging a photo before adding it to Houzz to see if that helps.

Darren ~ I used the Paint program. I took very large pictures so I did reduce them by 50% as us suggested. It seems now that I need to ask how to post more than one picture at one time. Help!

Christine,

As far as I know the only way to post more than one image at a time is to use "html" code, pointing to the multiple images hosted somewhere else, such as links used on the side of photobucket. I find it easier to make multiple posts. If you want to try html, you use the "href" tag, google it, type html and href and you should see example of the code.

Now, if you make the images even smaller, you can cut and paste them together in paint to make one "big" image, like a collage.

Good luck.

Darren,

Try using Imgur.com for uploading photos. Built in resizing tools and some simple editing/cropping options.
