Pics, before and after!

[hooleh]

OK - someone tell me how to add pictures...

attachment - browse - find the file- then I wait for ever then get an error message

'insert image' - error on pop-up

Thanks! (chartered electrical engineer with a PhD in semiconductor physics and my 8-year old can use the computer more proficiently that I can...)

I'm guessing your pictures are too big for the forum. They need to be 600 pixels wide by 450 high or less.

If you right click a picture file on your computer and select properties it'll tell you the size of the image.

have just tried that Dan and it just says how many mega bits it is, no mention of pixels ( or am I not up on this :mad2

You can edit the pic size in Paint...

When you have sent the pic to paint ( option in right click)then click image( tool bar) and then attributes...this brings up the pic size and then you just change the values then save... job done..

Doing it that way will chop off the rest of the image outside of the 600 x 450 area though Dave, and will not just re-size the image.

In Microsoft Paint, open the image and select "Resize & Skew" then you have to mess about with the % of the picture size.

For most pics I find resizing down by 75% does the trick.

Yep..that works better Adam..

Hall before we've cleaned
Downstairs loo, after we cleaned and sealed - didn't let the builder near them!

thats a wide joint....was that a request..? they have come up clean though..

Max image size for uploading is now 2400 x 1200px which should help a lot. Though I dare say many cameras if they're on their highest quality settings will produce images bigger, so they'll still have to be resized. There's just no point us hosting images twice as big as the computer screen or whatever if you need to scroll left, right, up and down to see all the picture. Plus it's a bigger cost for hosting with no benefit.

Hope that helps.

En-suite
2 bowls, loo in between,
steam room with sloping ceiling, seat and 'shelf'

builder now hates me after all those mosaics....

Re: Pics, before and after! - wide joint?

We'd asked for wide joints as the slates were not (remotely) flat, and I didn't want to be stubbing toes on raised edges, so the wider joints gave the builder some room to play. In hindsight, I'd have asked for grey grout for the grey slate. For downstairs loo, suspect that 3 tiles wide was easier than small 'bits' around the edges...
I live and learn! Would probably pay more for a better tiler next time... H.
