Posting photos - dimension restrictions

[Marelton]

Can anyone give me some tips on resizing photos to meet the limits on this site?

Have lots of photos for my build diary but struggling to get them resized without loosing parts of the image or reducing the image quality

Thanks

Hi Marelton, what are you manipulating the photos with? Mac, PC, Phone?

[Marelton]

iPad. Is the restriction on memory size or photo dimensions?

Hi Marleton, I use ipad for most of my photos. Just search the app store for "image resize". The restriction is on pixel size (photo dimensions). As long as the long side of the photo is less than about 1000 pixels, you should be fine. Adam posted this elsewhere:

****IMPORTANT*****

When posting Photos on our Forum, please ensure that they are a reasonable size.

Photos taken on a smart phone or digital camera will tend to default to 3000-4000px on the longest edge. This is way too big and is draining on our website resources.

Please process your photographs, in any editing software, so that the maximum length is 1000px and make sure they are set to 72dpi.

If you need help with this, email adam@pitbullguitars and I will assist you.

If you don't have any editing software, here's an article discussing the best FREE photo editing packages:

Great advice Andrew, many thanks. Have now resized all my pics I want to post.

I haven't actually used an image resizer on any of the photos I have shown in my threads. I uploaded all of my photos to Photobucket, and copied the image address and pasted it into the comment where I wanted it. Pictures are nice and big, and don't seem to be a drain on the site. They are probably automatically resized when I add the photos to my PB account.

Yep, as Zandit says, I find it heaps easier to host pics on an image sharing site (I prefer imgur.com) and then embed them into your post using the BB code. Copy and paste the address in between [img] and [/img] and your pic will appear at full size wherever you want it within your post.

Same goes with videos and links. Check out the BB code list at the bottom of the page for more info.

Good info, thanks. I'll try this on my next post

Looks like you got the info you needed. Great pics by the way!
