The perpetual photography thread

This is muchly likeable. Ropes and nobbly bits and colour.

In future Henbane could you make your photos a bit larger please so they become easier to see? At least 600 pixels (but preferably more like 800 but no more than 850 pixels at the widest end, don't want the photos to come out looking distorted!) would help. Thanks.

aaaargh!

I give up on these photos. I try to resize to a middling one, and it tells me that's what it's done, but then it either comes out huge or tiny.

I gives up I tell ye!

Do ye put them in full-size or something without resizing them yourself? Sure that's where you're going wrong. Resize them yourself using any tinpot resizing program - then just upload those when you've finished!

We've had this conv before. I upload them on photobucket, resize them to middle one, then use the image code. But it's batty.

It's clearly me doin it wrong. Ah well.

So does it resize to different sizes each time?

Yup, I know we've had this convo before.

Nope it says it's a certain size, but it LIES!

I dunno. I shall just restrict myself to posting on facebook from now on. Tis easier for those of little brain.

Have you tried ImageShack as an alternative to Photobucket? That's what I use.

And I don't use Facef*** so, yes, it might be better for you.

Is that building on the bank of the Dee, as its looks like the County Hall? If it is then I guess Chester council must of sold it off to the university.



On the right of that pic (out of the shot) on the other side of the old dee bridge there a Roman Shrine. The only shrine to the goddess Minerva still in tack in Europe.

Yes, it is.

Well I'll be dammed they must of sold that a year ago as it was last year as the last time I was in Chester last year, the council still owned it.

Now with you been close to Lower Bridge Street I do hope you visited the fine ale houses on that road
Oh theres a great pub on the corner of Park Street and Albion Street just off the wall.

Nooo! Don't go - I don't has (or wantses) a Facepoop account.

Having never actually used Photobucket's resize jobbie, I thought I'd have a play and note the steps I used.
Executive summary: it works.

1. uploaded an 800x600 image (actually it was 800x533) to an album, then went to that album.
2. move mouse over image and select "Edit", which started Photobucket's editor.
3. select "Resize" from menu bar above the image in Photobucket's editor.
4. make sure "Keep Proportions" is checked.
5. in the "New Size" box, change 800 to 640 (it originally said 800x533).
6. (as a result of [5], the second dimension automatically changed to 426).
7. click on "Apply".
8. click on "Replace Original" button below the image.
9. click on "My Home" button on Photobox's main menu.
10. re-select the album the picture is in.
11. move mouse over image and select "Direct link" (copies location to clipboard).
12. paste location into browser address bar.
13. picture is correctly displayed, and is at the new edited size.
14. double-check the new size in another application - it's correct.

Steps [9 & 10] were just a long-hand version of "return to original album" - there may have been a button for this that I missed.
Step [11] would normally be clicking on "IMG code" if the image is being posted for the first time but since step [8] replaced the original, images already linked here will just appear at the new size.
Steps [12-14] are just me checking things.

I'm wondering if you missed clicking "Replace Original" for some images.
Have another go?

This one?



Had a pint of Harviestoun Bitter and Twisted (4.2%) in there.

YES its my favourite pub and plus one of favourite pints as well

I didn't and couldn't stop very long anyway, but yes I visited. Found it a bit grim in all honesty but the beer was alright and the signs raised a wry smile.

I think canal boat holidays sounds rather adventurous! If it was me I would probably end up falling in.
I'll look forward to seeing the photos sometime Cornflake.
