  1. It's a very smart tutorial,I aim to use it.I did download that infanview,I regret not taking care to stop it taking over other things,It's changed my Google to Bing,and I keep getting extra webpages opening up when I don't want it to,on an already slow computer,but having said this,infanview does work.In future,I will try to reduce the size of a picture before I snap it,but I would prefer to get the best one available on my idiot camera,as it happens.It is a shame to reduce the size of the picture,I would rather reduce the pixel quality,but it's early days,and I appreciate all the help I have been given.
  2. They do have Obsessive compulsive disorder.We always had lurchers or deerhounds,far easier to deal with,but I love my Collies little traits.Once I got the bulk of her chasing everything that moves issues out of her,I admire her smartness so much,siply her ability to solve a problem,very quickly.Just a simple example,If I got over a fence on a walk,and she could not get over,she would easily run off for 5 inutes,a very long way around,because she knows an easy way to get where we need to be,and she would arrive.One command I have is,GO ROUND,to do what I ahve just mentioned.It works if we are walking,I see a load of mud,say,"Go ROUND",and point away from the mud,she will go around.They soon learn.I am no dog trainer,but I play to here strenghs,when something comes naturally,and it is of benefit,I encourage it.She has that rounding things up instinct,a wide outrun they call it on one man and his dog.Getting into the work van or my car,she will never ever just jump up in the back,or on the seat,as she sits in the front,but she will always walk the long way around the vehicle,and then get up,always.She is not fast like my old lurchers,but has had maybe 30 rabbits in her time,and most of those came because of her knowledge,not her speed.The times I see a rabbit infront,wish she would go after it,and she runs back,around over the wall,and takes them from behind.It's very impressive to observe.
  3. I have lots of Videos of this dog,Stella.If you have stumbled across me on this forum,you will see,I have onlt just been able to put a picture on here,doing Videos must be a whole other ball game.I'll ask the Collie to help,she far outsmarts me!
  4. This is my Bite Alarm,Works in all weathers,is 99.9% accurate and requires no batteries.Only ever trouble is trying to switch her off,loves Fishing! She will watch the float,the end of the rod,or whire the line is in the watch,when it looks like a bite,she whines,if I ignore it,she pushes against be,looks at me,looks at the rod,looks at me.Saturday morning,or any time I pick up a camera,a tin of sweetcorn,andthing I take Fishing,she won't settle unless we go fishing,I only have to use the F-Word,she knows(Fishing) recently I have been saying,I'm going Angling today,she has started to twig,angling and fishing are the same thing.She has another great tallent as a squirell spotter if anyone wants to go shooting in the woods,this is the dog to take,I don't know if she hears them,smells the,or sees them,I suspect all 3.She can be asleep at work( I am a roofer) suddenly wake up,run off to a tree,yap yap yap,There will be a squirrel.She has had 1 kill so far.(Pleant more Rabbits though)
  5. Thankyou,I managed to resize and save to my desktop.Not sure where to put it on Pigeon Watch,for example,I would not be able to copy and paste it here,on this actual screen where I am typing.I have just done an experimental picture of my Air Rifles to see how and where to put a picture.I now know how to do my profile picture.I have been too engrosed with trying to learn about the pictures,and not done enough looking at other things.Not sure if you noticed,I typed somewhere that I am interested in buying and selling knives.I think I will have a brows in the for sale part now. Thankyou for your help.
  6. Nobody sees to be endorsing the flat coated retriever,great dogs!
  7. Thankyou,as you can see,it now works!! Did you use Paint? I am not just being needy or silly,there is no option to resize in whatever paint I have on my computer.I have downloaded the irfanview thing harrycatcat1 suggested,as I intend to get on the selling page,I have some lovely knives for sale,handmade in the style of Ray Mears Bushcraft knives,same quality,much cheaper.I would like o use the best possible pictures to show those off. Thankyou for your help,I always love to see my little Collie smiling at me!
  8. H,I have it downloaded.I have managed to resize a picture on it.I never managed to save it somewhere else,and I only sesized by half,pixels,not lengh though,is this correct? There seems to be much to learn,but much to work with too.Thankyou.
  9. Thankyou Welsh1. I have just sent the picture,maybe 5 minutes ago.I am just off to walk the pictured little dog(in the rain) I'll be back then to see if there has been any action,Thanks,Neil.
  10. Nice Video.Before I pull the rest of my hair out,will this method,a.Put the picture into the Profile picture,as opposed to being part of a message thread,and b,does it ruduce the picture quality,which is what I need? I'm not just being lazy,I just worry about downloading things,slowing down my already old and cluttered computer,then finding,the new download has taken over many default things,such as windows picture and fax viewer? I'm gonna do it now!!
  11. Thanks for that,but.... I have been doing all the above,just tried again.I have saved,moved,renamed allsorts.When I come to upload,I get the exact same message.The file selected is too large-Max 100kb. All the people telling me to resize in paint,there is no option to do so in my paint.I will have to go away and find a new program to resize,but have to go out now.I'll get it somehow. It does not help trying to know how measurements of lengh/width,or pixelsx pixels equates to 100kb,and also not knowing kg,mg,or gb,which is the most,but for now,it's all irrelevant in paint,as I do not have any option to resize. Cheers,Neil.
  12. My paint has options,they are drop-down boxes,in order from left to right,File,Edit,View,Image,Colors,Help. This is all along the top,along side left,things like spray cans,lines,actual painting options.In the boxes,nothing helps.Best I could do was save blank pictures to other places like my desktop.My things are either out of date or my settings are wrong.
  13. I must have an outdated paint,as there simply is not a resize button,absolutely is not one,I have clicked and looked at every button and symbol,it does not exist on my computer.Thanks for telling me.I will get on abetter computer over the weekend and sort something out.
  14. I will try this thankyou harrycatcat1. Maybe this link will show you one of the pictures I am trying to use,it was saved my me ages ago on a thing called ipernity. http://www.ipernity.com/doc/159280/8473782
  15. I thought I'd just ask a 9 year old to do it for me. I keep getting told 100mb Max,even though I have reduced it to 20% of original.Just imagine a pretty Border Collie,sat my a nice waterfall in the Sunshine.That is what I am trying to show. I bet you lot don't have to faff around,I bet you just click Browse,get it from "My Pictures" and hey presto.It works for me on Ebay,Facebook,emails,just not here.
