Last Seen in Arizona

I'm sure Lou will tell you how he does it but in the mean time...

You have 2 options:  

Take the picture with a low resolution setting on your camera. Something like 640 x 480 pixels is a common setting (Lou's picture is 720 x 540 pixels).

Take the picture at high resolution and then re-size using a software program which will usually also let you crop the image to just what you want.  I use picasa or paint.net both very simple programs and free to download. There are many others.

Thanks Barry...I appreciate the info and will post a photo. I'm also going to create an album on Coppermine to show the progress of the project. I have never done any major work to either of the BMWs I've owned, but I figure a Haynes manual and a few cold beers will solve many of the issues I'll encounter (beer solves a lot of things...).

Hi Alex
 You will notice that some times when photos are posted it expands the page and you have to move the screen across to get it,
If you look in the General anouncments topic yet another new member from Sydney first post on page 2, i forgot to resize that and you can see what impact that has on the post.
 i resize mine usualy on photobucket using the "Crop" function in the edit options. You pick a starting "Corner "of your picture press and hold the left mouse button move the cursor across the photo it will outline the subject area then save it when you reach the desired size.
I usualy size them to 400x300 i dont think this pixels as that depends on the original camera settings maybe someone can confirm that.Once youve edited it you have the option to download and re title it which will then put it in your pictures folder ready for posting.
If its any constellation i am on the YBF forum and still cannot get a picture up on that

BTW Les is now in NZ he says he has some BMW bike pictures to send me (would have been pushing it a bit if i asked for only Airheads bless him)

Yes, set the image size to "small pc screen" or 800x600 and you'll get a decent sized pic that won't blow out the side of the usual forum browser screen..
