Today's Finds Forum

I really like this site but I hate to admit I rarely post here due to the size restriction. I mostly frequent a forum which doesn't restrict size because it's more convenient and the pictures there a much better quality .

Jason. what i do is after compiling the pics of a hunt ect is to do a batch resizing of them to the sites restricted size of 420 using the (free to download)Irfanview software. regardless of the the original file sizes, they come out all the same size and all upload as consistent size of display after uploaded to the forum. attached is a snap shot of what i explain. hope this helps and encourages you to visit here more and makes things easier on ya for future posting.

regards and HH<Spider

I use Photorazor to reduce selected or folders of pics.

I'm using Gwenview which came with Linux Kubuntu 14.1. Not being a skilled photographer it's simple, easy and free. LOL

Axiomx Picsizer. It allows you to pick the photo size, and it also allows you to process batches. e.g. A full folder of images, regardless of the orientation of landscape or portrait.

IfranV‪iew,great free,small program, and adjustable filters ,no fee for life

photoscape is so easy to use. u can reduce size of file, crop, color adjust. Free program. Love it. If U need the file send me a PM with your email and I will send U the file to install.

I use Linux and GIMP lets me resize. I find that 1200 X xxx is a perfect size for uploading to forums. Gets the photo down to around 300 kb, depending on how big the "xxx" value is. I always make sure that the 1200 is the larger of the two numbers.

Here is a sample.
