Trying something....Never mind...OK. HELP...I just put a photo

Go to the photo, then click edit...then resize...

I just checked one of my photos and it's 1024 wide by 768 high, but it will likely auto plug in the second number to keep your scale, so don't worry if you add one of those it auto changes the other number to something not exactly the same. Then save it and use the updated/new photo.

 
Orchid, find the image and then click on the word EDIT in the field above.

Photobucket being Photobucket, there are sometimes TWO icons with the word EDIT. One should go directly to your image, the other will go to the entire album. You can still drill down and find your image there.

In EDIT, click on RESIZE.
My camera typically takes 2M images and that ends up ~1200 pixels x 800 pixels.

I take whichever is the largest size (width or height), backspace and enter 600 there. Since the two dimensions are tied together (unless you click the LOCK icon), it will automatically reduce the smaller proportionally (to ~400).

Click the SAVE button. It will then ask you if you want to replace the original. I usually say YES.

NOW--big conditional statement. I've found that if I've pasted a hyperlink HERE with the bigger image and then resize it, eat.at keeps the larger image. I have to go ALL THE WAY OUT of photobucket and eat.at for it to display the smaller image here.

Now I try to reduce the size first before copying anything here. If you look at Meryl's cake, that is 600x400.

I think I have cache issues.

 
I've done all that you both have said and it still is big. I even tried

to just crop it. Arrgg!

 
I have no luck with that either. I just totally delete it and resize the original, then upload again

 
SUCCESS!!! I posted it on my Facebook page and then copied,

pasted it here and it's fine! I've removed it because I'm not ready to post it yet. What... A... Hassle!!!

 
I have no idea but desperation took over and I tried it. I use FB

to play a game and I've already had people say YUM.

 
You will, it's one that I'm going to do from the Cook the Book for

Sept. So it's not September yet so I'm not posting it. I'm just a very organized person ;o) so I'm just getting ready.
