Related: About this forumHow do I change the size of pictures I post
to DU?
I have been posting pictures for a while now but some seem really large on display.
I bring them from Flicker, currently, and they size there to fit on the screen.
When I link to DU I have to scroll to see the whole picture.
Is there a way to cut down the size so they will fit better and one can see the whole picture.
thanks

(765 posts)To get the size you want to post here from Flickr, go to the image you want. In the lower right there's an option to download the picture, if you click on the arrow, you'll have an option to view all sizes, click on that. On the next page it will show all the options you have to download. One of the options is Large 1024, click on that if it doesn't take you directly to that size. You can right click on your image and choose copy image address and paste that into DU.

To resize yourself, you almost certainly have an image editing tool on your system that will resize & crop images. Right click on an image file & see what applications you can choose from to open the file with.

Screenshots are consistently the same rough size each time.
No EXIF information leaking to the world divulging the model and serial number of the lens, either.
In a way, that's theft protection for your lens (like etching the serial number) but OTOH, it's creepy to me.
