The econony of multiple uses

[Boatsb]

Ok so I needed to try posting a picture and found one that actually is interetsing. As a friend of mine sent it to me I realized it an actual local place that has grasped the idea that we all need to combine multiple businesses to be efficient.

This is my first post of a picture so I hope it works.

I wish I could post the pic but it's on my NY computer, not this one...

In Lymington, England there is a furniture store on the High Street that has a sign advertising that they sell furniture and funeral home services.

In the large, ecomony size, too....you might try resizing the image down. It came through a bit large

 

[Boatsb]

That brings the question. What is the "best size" for posting

 

[Boatsb]

Is this better? It's 800 x 600

What stumps are they advertising to grind

A bit off topic as to dual use but the coversation touched on a subject with which I need some guidance.I've been trying to post some pictures of my boat but they have been rejected as too large. How does one resize one's digital photos?

 

[Boatsb]

I used Microsoft Office picture viewer to resize the pixel count and Adobe acrobat standard to make it a smaller JPEG image.
I know there are many other ones out there but these were handy.

Scott, Thanks. I've managed to resize and upload a few shots of my boat but in order for the server to accept them I had to make them very small. I've seen other people's attachments that were much larger bphotos than mine and also some that could be clicked on to enlarge. Who knows how to do that? Bruce/aka johngalt

free, intuitive, small and fast... you can resize images in batch which is very convenenient, you can rename them too....

If you want larger pictures within a post, put them on another site and then just link to them. You can put any size picture in that way. I took Starman's advice and started using photobucket. It's really easy to upload to the site and they have the link that you can cut and paste into your post for each photo. You might try that. I found it to be quite easy. Thanks for the tip Paul.

Macs have a builty in email-photo function that allows you to select any number of photos and then resize them to small/med/large/original. Small works perfectly for posting here. It's nice because it works within the OS and there are no intermediate steps involved.

On my old Win (NY) machine I used Picture Window, a great photo program that is about photography, not desktop publishing (Photoshop). It worked very well but, like any add-on program, requires a few extra steps to get the job done.

I am becoming quite the Mac convert...

You are welcome Sky.

Photobucket just went through some changesabout the time I joined here and resizing is a snap now.

I like the "click on " and the "copy" is auto now, and they give the option for sizing for message boards.

I also use hotmail for my emails because sending photos is so easy. The re-sizing is completely automatic.
