<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 773156, member: 112&quot;]What you have to do to get the large pics is this. Open the large pic whatever site you find it on. Then Right Click on the pic, an option window will open, then click on Save Picture As. That will open another little window allowing you to chose what folder on your computer to save the file in and what name you want to use for the file. Make your choices and click on Save. This much is pretty easy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, before you can upload the pics to Coin Talk, you have to be sure what size they are because Coin Talk only allows pictures up to 250kb. If the pics you save are larger than that then you have to do 1 of 2 things. </p><p><br /></p><p>You can either change the file type which will reduce the size of the file somewhat - or - you have to resize the picture. </p><p><br /></p><p>Both are easy to do, but it depends on what type of file it is to begin with to which of those 2 things you need to do, and which one need to do determines how you go about doing it. But either way, both can be done by using a program that is on every computer called - Paint. Just click on Start, then&nbsp; programs, then click on Accessories, then click on Paint and it will open.</p><p><br /></p><p>Once Paint is open, click on File, then click on Open. This will allow you to browse the folders on your computer until you find the picture you want. Once you find it, just double click on it and it will open. </p><p><br /></p><p>Once it is open you will see what type of file it is in the top left corner of the Paint window. The type of file is determined by the extension - it will usually be something like .bmp .tiff .png or .jpg&nbsp; You want it to be .jpg, so if it is not .jpg, then you need to change the file type.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can do this by clciking on File, then clicking on Save As. This will open a window with a drop down box. Where it says - Save As Type - clcik on the little arrow and scroll down until you see JPEG or .JPG - click on that. Click on that, then click on Save.</p><p><br /></p><p>This will usually reduce the file size to be within the size limits that Coin Talk uses. Then all you have to do is attach the file just you alread did.</p><p><br /></p><p>If however the file type of your pic is already .jpg when you open it, and the pic is too big for Coin Talk, then you need to resize the picture. You can also do this with Paint.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, at the top, just click on Image. Then click on Stretch/Skew. This will open another little window and you will see 4 small boxes. The top 2 will say Horizontal and Vertical. These boxes will have a size in them, usually 100%. The top one (Horizontal) will be highlighted. So if the size of your picture is say 500kb, then just hit the 4 and 9 keys, then do the same in the Vertical box, then click on OK - and the size of your picture will now be 49% of what it was before, or less than 250kb which is small enough to use on Coin Talk.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now that all may sound complicated, but it really isn&#039;t. It&#039;s quite easy if you just follow those steps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
