Hello to Everyone in Photographica,
  I am from Houston,Texas this is my first time in Photograhica and I would like to post some pictures. Would you please, tell me how to resize them or is it done by the site automatically ?

    I'm a "newby" as well...I found the "help" site screen very helpful in making my first posting. You can print the pages for reference while doin' your posting....good luck and looking forward to seeing your pics!!!

    Thank you Bobby, Before I post the message I was reading the help section. It did'nt allow me, May be I need to upload directly from the CD.

    Miztli, you will need a photo editing program of some kind to resize your photos before you upload them. Google has one called Picasa you can download for free here: http://picasa.google.com/ Your photo cd may also have a simple editor on it.

    If you have photoshop you can "save for web", draw down the file menu choose "save for web", in the pop up box choose 'size' of photograph and set the longest photo dimension to 800 ... photoshop does the rest This is not a brilliant explanation... but if you have the software and roughly follow what I have stated ... it should work...

    Wilk took the words right out of my keyboard!!!!!!!! picasa2 is great for starters! And since you are my neighbor here in houston...I will "hook the sister up" with photoshop elements. It is a good intermediate program!
