I cant seem to find any help on this topic here on RMweb.  I used to do it a couple of years back...but have since had another laptop and forgotten how.

 

Any help appreciated

I usually open with MS Picture Manager and click on PIcture then Compress and it gives you some options

I did notice that facility, but cant work out how to do it.  Would you give me a bit of guidance please.

I have posted this stuff a few times before: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/86885-putting-a-photo-on-rmweb/&do=findComment&comment=1482354

 

but here it is again:

 

To use the Image Editor click this link at the top of every page:

 

 

Here's how to use it:

 

1. click this:

 

2.Find the picture on your computer and click on it:

 

It will open in the editor.

 

3. If you wish you can add a copyright notice, or any other text or mark-up. Click the A button on the left and add your text in the box which appears:

 

4. Click Image size in the Image menu:

 

5. Set the required size in the box which appears. 800 x 600 is good for general pics:

 

6. Click Save... in the File menu:

 

7. Choose My Computer as the destination. If it is a photo from a camera, choose JPEG as the format. Slide the Quality compression control until the image size shows as less than about 250KB. Click OK:

 

8. You can then choose where you want to save it on your computer. And finally upload it to RMweb:
