Look after yourself old bean, I haven't ordered all my wagons yet!

 

[Adrian B.Swain]

Hi Folks, I have taken some pictures but they are too large a file to upload, what do I do to reduce the file size to one that can be handled and what size is best. Is it possible to upload 3 pictures at once or does the total size have
to be a certain figure ?????? adrianbs

 

[SteveO]

Do you use a Mac or PC?

 

[Adrian B.Swain]

Hi Steve I have a laptop with Window XP adrianbs

 

[Osgood]

Adrian - if you open a picture, is there a drop down menu along the top with 'Open' on the right side?
And if you drop down the 'Open' menu does it have 'Microsoft Office Picture Manager'?

 

[BrushType4]

Adrian, you need to reduce the size of each picture. SteveO is the case and is likely writing up a 'how to' but if you still are struggling I'd be happy to resize them if you email them to me.

 

[Osgood]

What I do is open MS Office Picture manager, click on Edit, click on Compress Picture, then save file as something else and then No to Save changes? so I retain the original size file. There are easier ways I know!

 

[Heather Kay]

I know this potentially adds another level of complexity, but you could sign up for a free Flickr account. You can embed images from your account in posts here very easily, and Flickr takes care of the resizing issue.

 

[SteveO]

I'm afraid I don't know any PC software as I use a Mac. I'm sure that if you opened a picture you'd be able to alter the 'properties'?

[Adrian B.Swain]

Hi all Found a wat to resize via "send to Email" and then "copy to my documents" but not sure if it is in the post
yet so here goes adrianbs

 

[Heather Kay]

It's tidier than mine.

 

[7mmMick]

Lots going on there Adrian, are the private owner wagons the current project? I like the look of them, can you tell us a bit about them, maybe the odd close up ?

[Adrian B.Swain]

Cor !! That actually works! This is the first picture so more to follow now I know how to do it.
Caption should have read --- Adrian's Workbench in its usual immaculate state with all tools in their
proper places and only one project on the go at a time. The Unimat is not visible as it sits on a side bench
and when needed it sits on my lap, whilst I sit in front of the bench. Not perhaps the safest position in
which to use a lathe but so far (50 years) I have not come to serious harm although I do get a lot of
swarf in my shoes if I forget to keep my feet out of the way. off to resize some more pics adrianbs

 

[Tony West]

Cheers Tony.

 

[Adrian B.Swain]
