How to make a picture bigger

Post by wwjd63 »

Hello

Need some help please; I have just created a photo album in the photo gallery. That took me awhile but my wife figured it out. What she did was make the pictures bigger in my photobucket album and copied them over to a folder in my computer. But when uploading the picture from the folder from my computer the pixel size was some how reduced. Is there a way when my gallery is pulled up and you click on a picture to make it bigger?

Thanks

You need to change (make) the pixel size of the picture bigger... Around 800X600 or so... What you have is around 160X130, which is about the same size of the small preview picture to click to expand to the full size so there is no change in size.

If it Looks good and Works good then it's ok by me. Everything has its issues from time to time...

Unfortunately you can’t change the size of them on the Photo Gallery and on Photo Bucket you can only change the size to smaller not bigger… :o
Do you have the originals on your computer and are they bigger? If they are bigger then you could just upload those, but if they are the same size you can try to make them bigger but they may distort too much… (I took one of the ones you had and made it bigger and you can see it distorts it pretty bad, click pic to enlarge to full size) :roll: The originals off your camera need to be larger to start with…
I have “Microsoft Office Picture Manager” that I use on my computer to resize (usually smaller) but you may not have it… Keith has a good tutorial and a link to a free picture resize program, check it out here. http://www.fordification.com/resize-graphics.htm
