New Years Resolution
THIS QUESTION HAS PROBABLY BEEN ASKED A MILLION TIMES BUT HERE GOES.
I HAVE DECIDED TO MAKE ONE OF MY NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS, THAT IS TO LEARN HOW TO PUT MY PHOTOS ON TO PIXALO. AS MOST PEOPLE ON PIXALO WILL KNOW, I AM NO GOOD AT ALL WITH COMPUTERS. SO COULD SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL ME IN VERY SIMPLE TERMS HOW TO DO IT. BEING ABLE TO DO THIS WILL MAKE ME AND MY GRANDCHILDREN VERY HAPPY, AS THEY KEEP TELLING ME HOW EASY IT IS TO USE COMPUTERS. SO URGENT HELP NEEDED PLEASE, THANK YOU |

Re: New Years Resolution
What software are you using for photo editing at the moment?
Here's the standard guide from Pixalo: Resizing Pictures for Pixalo Last edited by _MB_ : 30-12-2007 at 16:44. |

Re: New Years Resolution
Well in elements just follow the steps in the guide and you'll have an uploadable image.
To actually upload it, goto members gallery and select upload photos on the right hand side ![]() |

Re: New Years Resolution
Woody, in Picasa, you need to open up the picure then select File then Export Picture to Folder, this then gives you the option to re-size the image to give you the correct pixel size. Bringing it down to about 800 pixels usually brings the picture to within the size limits but you may need to tweak it a little if not.
I also have Corel Paint Shop but as it's not loaded on my laptop and I don't have my new desktop yet, I can't remember how to do it! But there is a Resize option in one of the drop down menus. |

Re: New Years Resolution
THANKS ANGELA, I WILL GIVE THAT A TRY, AS I THINK IT MIGHT BE EASIER FOR ME
TO DO IT IN PICASA RATHER THAN ELEMENTS. |

Re: New Years Resolution
Do what the guide says in any photoshop, elements, cs, whatever. The steps are basically the same.

Re: New Years Resolution
I use 'save for web' in photoshop, and I know a lot of others do too. It lets you choose the output file size in kb as well as the actual size in pixel terms.
