Numpty needing help!

[sean0801]

Can anyone tell me how to resize a picture (make it smaller) so i can post it on here? I want to see if anyone can id a critter that a stumbled on, it was hiding under the gravel on the sea bed at about 3 meters, with just the top of it's head and eyeballs showing.

Cheers dudes

I open mine in photoshop, then

Image - Image Size. I generally use width of 500 pixels.

Then I add them to my photobucket albums and then copy and paste the "img" in the post.

I really am a software numpty fiona, where do i find the image thingy?

i've got the pic in adobe and in my pictures in window, if that means owt to you?

[Fiona]

from one numpty to another I'll have a go.

You have photoshop open.

Along the top line File - edit - Image - Layer etc

Click Image and you get a drop down box, about half way down the list (on mine anyway) is Image Size

Click Image Size

change the pixel size to 500 width or if the picture is portrait I use 500 for height.



The save the picture again

Can you get to this point

[sean0801]

errr no, i just have file, edit, view, find and help

i must have the crappy version

damn, am i gonna have to spend some money on software or can i steal some that'll do the job?

Sean I have sent you my email addy via PM if you want to send it to me

[Fiona]

If I have cropped this correctly the critter Sean needs IDing is in the bottom right corner (ish) - Sean where was the picture taken, might make it easier to identify

Thanks Fiona!

the picture was taken in turkey last week, depth was a bout 3 meters, water temp about 26 degrees

10 inches is a bit confusing did you mean 10cm ?

Could be some sort of sea / wart slug

Although it doesn't look like 10 inches in the pic, size is more likely to be a sea cucumber and found on sandy bottoms.

Photoshop is kind of complicated and takes some time to learn, buying a copy just to resize images is like buying a Range Rover to take the kids to school

For simple image viewing and manipulation I use Irfanview. It's a free download too
