How to Post a Photo - 2 ways!

Thank you tremendously!!!!!

how do you make the background and all of that

I do it in photoshop. You open a new document (I usually make mine 5" by 15" to start with). Then paste the screen shots and add text. When you have everything the way you want, hit Ctrl+Shift+E to merge all the layers and then save.

But, I forget that my computer at home displays at %150 so it's easier for me to read... Wow, that's a big document! And I hate it when I find typos after the fact... too late to fix now.

I just got photoshop and I am having a struggle figuring everything out. Right now it is just being used to crop pictures... I am glad I figured that out!!

Thanks JBAX! I know that posting pics is tricky when you first start out.

Thank you! Thank you! Very helpful:)

Hey, glad I can help.

Suzy- My husband learned a lot of photoshop by watching YouTube. You can learn anything there, I think. I learned by watching him. I like to put my how-to's like this to. The next time, I'll do another tutorial... it can get complicated, but you are the second person to ask.

Ok great, I did something similar for my easter challenge but I ended up using microsoft paint.... Worked the same I guess, can't really do everything I want to do though.

Sooooooo I'm thinkin' maybe jusssssst maybe I should have attempted to do this before I had that glass of wine.....

OK OK sooo I don't really drink wine, but that excuse is better than owning up to what I really painted.... sighhhhhhhhh

In my mind this turned out wayyyyyyy better. At least my curlicue looks good

In protest, and pouting... NO MORE MIRRORLESS challenges

Oh my gosh all of that and I posted pic to the wron site........ sorry

didn't work ! i will try again ...sorry !

one more try .... it worked ! it worked !! i am a real forum - er ! [img][/img]

bump!

I have tried both of these ways and no code or writing of any sort comes up. I have tried the copy and paste and when I preview it there is nothing there! Uggghhh.

Are you using Explorer or Modzilla? I've heard it's harder to post if you use Modzilla.

Using Google Chrome which is why i was having troubles but I have figured it out now. Thanks!

I keep getting error message saying file is too big or corrupt... but these are smaller than my other pics, and uploaded elsewhere fine... suggestions?

I can't get pics to download either. I dunno??? I went to the gallery area and clicked "my own" or whatever it says, then tried to follow obvious directions such as browse to choose the pic and then save but nothing. ? I will try again but would anyone be willing to guide this photo posting newbie along?

The way described here works for me. I browse on my own computer, select the picture and download, then copy and paste. Where does it go wrong with you.

After I hit save I tried to see if the pics were there but nothing? When I choose browse and the pic, then what step(s) am I missing before I hit save? It's not making sense but then I am very tired today too.

I don't see 'safe'. Let's see:
I click on the icon with the computer and disk,
then I browse to the file and choose
Then I click 'host it'
Then wait wait wait till it's downloaded
It comes with 3 choices, I choose the middle one and click on 'copy' behind the line
Click on the icon with computer and disk to remove it
back in the 'writing area' paste the picture.
Now the code appears. (you don't see the picture here!)
When you click on preview (below text area) the picture appears. When you click on send your picture is posted.
I hope this will do. Good luck
