How to post pictures in the text area

Blueface, thats not too shabby. How did you do it? Is it just a simple resizing using Irfanview, or did you tweak it in some other way?

And as for your awful slur Alleycat, AS IF!! The big one was nine pounds and the other was five.

A nice day out on the watter!

Nothing too special. I increased the resolution from 72 to 100 DPI, resized the image, cropped it and then saved it. I don’t know if changing the resolution was really necessary but it looks better to me with than without.

Sorry to be such a dweeb. OK, I just managed to find out how to crop, but how do you change the resolution using Irfanview?

When you open the Resize/Resample dialogue, the DPI control is below the Width and Height controls. 72 DPI is pretty standard for webwork but sometimes higher resolutions with a smaller overall size appear “sharper”.

Aha! Now I get it. Your screenshot is different from mine, so I guess I must have an older version that doesn’t support DPI alterations. I’ll need to download the newer version. Thanks for your help.

What I want to know is how BF is managing to post these screens out of software applications or out of windows. That looks like a trick that only software manual writers have mastered heretofore. Is that an Irfanview trick?

IrfanView does screenshots. Click on the “Options” menu and then click on “Capture”. A dialogue with options will then be displayed. And “Yes”, I’ve done manuals before…including one for Nikon.

Goddamn! Blueface, you’re giving a tutorial here!

I’ve spuced up the last page of the Beer Alert thread, but am still having problems with the one decent pic of Konig Ludwig Weissbier. I found a suitable pic on Google… but I just can’t seem to get the damn thing to post right. I’ll try again later tonight.
