    :wink: Hi Nathan it's down to when you re-size them Nathan I see yours are around 319 x235 , don't make them that small keep them to 500 or 600 max... I think most of us use about 500 & that's what gives you the larger pics...!:wink::gnthb: Good Luck..!:)

    Hi Nathan

    I don't know the technical side of getting the pic the right size. I upload my photos to 'Photobucket' and when I originally went on there I picked the option to have my pictures 640 x 480 (whatever that means :))

    I just upload my photos and then when I move my cursor over the photo that I want to put on GC four options drop down from the photo. I pick the bottom one which says 'IMG code' then left click on the box alongside it (to the right). It then tells me it is 'copied'. I then go back to GC and right click where I want to paste the photo and click on 'paste' in the drop down menu.

    There may be an easier way but I don't know how.

    So it is:-

    click on Browse in Photobucket
    find the photo
    upload it
    cursor over picture
    click on the bottom option (IMG)
    paste it to GC.

    Good luck :gnthb:

    We saw these two old peddle cars for kiddies parked out of a second-hand clothing store downtown yesterday -

    :thmb: It was one of those beautiful cold winters morning when you are not sure what the weather will do, we went out & as we walked the sun came through to produce these misty, almost ethereal at times photos......

    Marley.
    Well spotted and good job on taking those pictures.
    Is that building in any way a water pumping house?

    On these cold winter afternoons after the mornings trip out shopping I often find myself ingrossed with photoshop and a few of my pictures.
    I came up with this one today.
    Hope you like it

    Beautiful pics Marley, I think the english landscape has a venerable sweetness to it that I have never neen anywhere else!
    Frost hasn't gone here in two days, so the frost of today built up upon the frost of yesterday. Now it's raining and freezing where it falls... should make for gorgeous pics if I can crawl out of the house at all!
