BIRTHDAY GREETINGS / How to do it

[Bastan]

I'm trying the other way now


yeah! it works too.

 

[Bastan]

Trying the picture now!

Edited by Beckyjan:
Hi Bastan - I have just resized this for you.

Saved your picture in My Pictures, then I opened in Paint. Went to Image, then resize - altered 100% to 23% and saved. Then I went to edit your post, found Manage Attachments, removed your large picture then went to Attachments again and uploaded the newly sized pic.

A bit late now to explain in more detail but have another go but work on resizing your pictures before you start.

Good luck.

Dear BeckyJan,

I tried, but the size thing is beyond my scope. And I tried to preview but couldn't find how.

Maybe next time. Anymore advice?????

Thanks for trying

love
frustrated Bastan. xx

Bastan, you need to re-size the pic using Paint.
To find it, go to All Programmes, Accessories, Paint.
When you find Paint come back and tell me...

 

[BeckyJan]

WHOOPS - I have just edited Bastan's post with picture and more or less repeated what you have said, Deborah.

 

[DeborahBlythe]

And I tried to preview but couldn't find how.

Hello Bastan, When you have composed a reply, instead of clicking on 'Submit reply', you choose the button next to it, on the right which says 'Preview post'... And you click on it!

It's OK Jan, you are much more thorough than me. I am half brain-dead at this time of night!

 

[Bastan]

I soooooo need my bed now but thank you both very much. Don't have clue what paint is but will try it tomoz!

Cheers, loving it.
Bastan xx

ps re- preview...what a plonker................Doh!!!!

I know this is the 21st century, but it takes some of us a little longer. xx

Hello Grove and Bastan and others who need help resizing!

If you have Paint this may help:

In the first box click on Image and you will see 'Resize' then the second box will come up. I usually reduce to 23%. If you look under Attributes in the same box it will give the picture size.

(I have to learn to do straight arrows ).

Here goes - nothing venture etc.
It should come out as my gorgeous dog whose name I have pinched - but who knows!View attachment 24094

 

[Saffie]

Right, well in the wrong place - but who'se perfect. now to try a commercial one i.e. one of those lovely moving images you all puy in with birthday gretings.

 

[Saffie]

Nope - just can't seem to do it. Do you have to save an image from internet http to your own pictures first?
I was impressed with all the references to http's for the royal wedding party too.
Well, guess I'd better do the hoovering and put away thiese fun things!

This is a mad hatters tea party at our eldest daughters house, Mothers Day 2010.

 

[Bastan]

Dam and blast it I wanted to preview it not post it!!!.

 

[elaine n]

Tee Hee! I'm glad it's not just me who gets it wrong!

 

[DeborahBlythe]

Never mind, Bastan. Try again! You need to rotate the pic first though. Did you find 'Paint' like wot yer teachers told ya?

 

[Bastan]

here goes again

 

[Grannie G]

Brilliant, Bastan. I can feel your sense of achievement. I wish we had a clapping smiley.

 

[Bastan]

You are so kind Sylvia but your applause would be wasted on me.

I am so frustrated that I can't re-size the photograph even though I've been given detailed instructions.

Well I can re-size but can't transfer it to TP.

I will try again later when I've collected myself together!!!!

Feeling Stupid Bastan. xx

 

[BeckyJan]

Does this help, Bastan?

I have reduced one of your pics and saved in my Pictures. Then I found Manage Attachments (scroll down from this Reply page). Then I hope the illustration will show what next.
