There's a lot of really BIG pictures about, at the moment
mr henderson - 14/10/08 at 02:48 PM

Anybody else find this a bit tedious? Someone posts a picture and, after waiting for the massive thing to load (my broadband isn't that broad) I find myself having to use the scroll bars to look at various bits of the picture.

There are various ways that pictures can be resized, for instance, I have a free Photobucket account and they have on-line resizing and other features.

I'm also willing to bet that most if not all the software that comes with digital cameras could be used to resize pictures.


Thank you for reading my rant

Failing that, Paint is on most computers and take 2 seconds to resize

Mr Henderson....dont beat about the bush...here..let me help..


DO NOT POST BIG PICTURES!!!

(600px by 600px would be more than adequate!)

Generally I upload my pictures to Photobucket then its dead easy to copy and paste the link and the pictures are resized for ya.

Brilliant!

This is a big picture of a big engine...

If you've got Windows XP there is a Microsoft addon that does the trick - it lets you right click the file name and resize the pic without having to open it.

Available here about 2/3 of the way down - called Image Resizer.

It says that PowerToys only work with US English regional settings, but the Image Resizer at least works OK

It's getting people to actually use these facilities that seems to be the problem. Quite often they are well aware of the problem, but seem unwilling to fix it (sorry, don't know how to re-size pics) and other such pathetically weak, lame and entirely risible excuses of the hopelessly non-effective variety.

I would like to see the Kit car that could take that engine, that would be a bit of engineering. Not a Pinto but I bet it may be a diesel!

Get firefox, and install the 'Image Zoom' plugin. It has an option to automatically re-size images to fit your screen.

Won't make them load any faster though

I have similar problems with my not-very-broadband - especially with bike / car videos on youtube. I had a fair bit of success with "TCPOptimizer" (sorry - that's how it's spelt...) on speedguide.net: Clicky

Hope it helps - Francis.

Irfanview does the job (free download )
