welsh1 Posted October 24, 2022 Report Share Posted October 24, 2022 When you are typing your post there is a paperclip symbol at the bottom drag your pic there or click on the choose file and go to where you have the pic, jpeg is one of the better formats to have your pics in.

chrisjpainter Posted October 24, 2022 Report Share Posted October 24, 2022 Okay. The easiest way is to open the image as a file. Then open the snipping tool. Click on Start in Windows and either open the tool or just start typing 'snipping tool' and open it. Select 'new' and then drag a box round the open image. Open Pigeonwatch and in your post hit Control and V at the same time. It'll paste the image in. Should you want to make the image smaller in your post, double click on the image And change the pixel size, keeping Aspect Ratio ticked, so that it stays the same proportions.

Walker570 Posted October 24, 2022 Report Share Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) I have all of my photos stored on my computer. I just click the paper clip , then pull up pictures, choose the one I want and click open and the photo appears on my post. I do have to reduce the size and this is also pretty simple ..... example Edited October 24, 2022 by Walker570 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billytheghillie Posted October 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2022 Did what Welsh1 said, but still have a problem. This is a old pic taken with my old camera, my new camera pictures wont upload as it says file to big. Might need to adjust new camera settings, if this makes sense.

A good camera's photos have a lot of data in them, which makes the file size really big. That's why I like the snipping method, because the original size isn't a concern, because you're just creating another picture, but with a lot less data in it. Plus you don't have to go through the process of using the paperclip. you just hit CTRL+V and it appears. To sort out your problem with the new camera, you'll either have to get an app like @johnphilipsuggested, or in your camera downgrade the quality of the images it's taking. Or you can use the snipping tool to make lower data replicas. Open Snipping tool, take the shot, then click save and save it as a Jpeg. It'll be considerably smaller than the original.

I have found the easiest way to resize large sized photos is to email them to myself Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walshie Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 The easiest way to resize photos stored on your computer is to open them in "paint", click resize and select the % you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
