Another Photobucket question

[Lynn The Forest Fan]

Is it possible to change the default size of pics from Photobucket? I am finding that the photos I am downloading of chuches are large & when I try to edit them in Photobucket, it either takes ages or just shuts down on me. Is there anyway to get them the right size straight away, to save editing them later please?

lynn,

have a look at this:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...powertoys.mspx

look to RHS and in the column 5 up from bottom is Microsoft image resizer.

I know some people use that, I can't get on with PB's new resizer, its too cumbersome for my liking.

don't know why they have to mess with it if it works ok in the first place.

I use Irfanview for resizing and find it very easy to use.

IrfanView - Official Homepage - one of the most popular viewers worldwide

I've just lost where on Photobucket you could adjust the size to forum size. On Strange Photography thread in Hobbies, we are all using full size...

I know I clicked something once on it but can't find in relation to individual images. Thanks Liz

On photobucket uner or above where it says browse,,,it says options click on that and it gives you a list just change that to website size and press save it will then make them all that size that you upload ;;easy

I hadn't thought about using a different resizing website. I will probably do that.
Babs, I clicked on "account options" but couldn't find where to change the picture size
BTW, I am not on broadband & photobucket takes ages to download anyway.

Its not in account options its just in the part were you upload your normal photos above the browse button ;;

Thanks Babs...we are all going Photobucket mad with the Churches photo project! Liz

Thanks Babs, I have now discovered what you meant & have managed to put up one photo, but photobucket is still being really slow for me.

Hi Lynn,

Were you uploading to photobucket, resizing and then downloading them.

If you resize in Irfanview, then upload they should be quicker when smaller.
