[QUOTE="RonSanderson, post: 3179960, member: 77413"]Three small changes can vastly improve your posts. The image, by the way, is pretty good. These ideas are just to improve the presentation of the image you already have. (If the image is not from an iPhone my examples won't be quite exact but the ideas are still pertinent. Just use the similar tools available to you.) On the iPhone this can be done within the Photos app. Select the photo you want and look for Edit on the top right of the screen. Tap it. Below the photo a set of editing tools will appear. In this screenshot I have already tapped on the Crop / Rotate tool, shown next to Cancel. [ATTACH=full]819393[/ATTACH] [LIST=1] [*]Rotate to straighten the photo. Under the photo you see a sort of dial with degree markings. Grab the little triangle and move it left or right to rotate the picture until it looks straight to you. Your photo is on its side, so you need to start with a 90 degree rotation to get the image upright. Click on the little square box with an arrow wrapping around it that appears above the word Cancel. Get it close to upright, then fine-tune using the dial control to get it exact. [*]Crop.
