bstucker Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 Thanks for your compliments! I'm hoping to post two close ups of the quilting now. I've not had much luck doing this since the first photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bstucker Posted April 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 I'm not sure how this picture got posted. It may be one I did in the past, but as Geraldine say, its too enlarged a picture to tell. I did not post this recently, so there must be a glitch somewhere.

ramona-quilter Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Barbara, Most of todays computers have a program called Paint. It comes with Windows and you an find it by navigating to Start - Programs - Accessories - Paint. Inside Paint, use your mouse to left-click File - Open - and locate your photo where it is stored on your computer. Once the photo displays inside Paint, click Image - Attributes to see the current size of your photo. 600 x 480 (or thereabouts) is a good size to post. But before you resize it, do a Save As to save the photo with a different name, like Inserra-Mariner-640x480.jpg. This way you don't overwrite your original photo. As soon as you do the 'save as', the name at the top of the Paint window changes so you'll know what image you are working on. Now to make this new one smaller. Still in Paint, click Image - Stretch/Skew. The Stretch/Skew window opens. Notice the Stretch pane shows 100% for horizontal and vertical. Change those 100's to 25's. Click Ok. Click Image - Attributes to see the new size of your photo. Adjust, if necessary. Click File - Save. At the APQS forum, when you're posting, click the Browse button next to Attachment and find your newly-sized photo and attach it. Then we can all see your great quilting. Let me know if you get stuck, bstucker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GERRY Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Rammona:.... That was some of the best instuctions for posting a photo, I've read yet, I printed it so I could keep it handy for the first quilt I finnish. My Milli. (named Garcie after my Mom) is coming the first week in May, it's an adoption (used mach.) from Ont. Sue Patten in handleing everything (she's great). I've read so many of your replys to questions asked on this forum. You're so helpful, and posative, a real treat to read , thanks from all those you've helped, I know I will be able to ask many of the dumb "newbie" questions that will come up in the future, & get the right answers from you & all the other Lar's out there. I've been reading this forum alot lately, some great info out there , makes me think I can do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
