Harpo Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) Test, trying to stop automatic zoom... Actual pic is 1000 wide, displays in post at 1432, looks fuzzy. Click on pic, it displays at 1135 wide, still too large... Doesn't matter if you click "insert into post" or not, they get inserted regardless.

Russell C Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Don't know what PCs have for photo size manipulation, but on my ol' iMac, I open up a photo in the Apple Preview program, adjust its contrast from my overly dark-taking digi camera, and then I size it down to 4.5" inches across at a resolution of 150. Your photo was nearly 14" across at a resolution of 72 when I downloaded it. Looks like this now after all the above alteration: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harpo Posted February 7, 2018 Author Share Posted February 7, 2018 Let's try 9" wide at 72dpi: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harpo Posted February 7, 2018 Author Share Posted February 7, 2018 Ok, that worked. Can't say why for sure but 9" wide at 72dpi is the same as your 4.5" at 150. Yes, I'm fussy - but huge zooms are like looking through a microscope, and not an accurate depiction of the model! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beats me totally. Since the size & resolution I use worked, I've gone with that ever since for the posts here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete J. Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I resize all my photos to 6" with 100 dpi resolution. This seems to give a good photo for most applications. I use Photoshop but Microsoft photo editor(depending on which version of windows your running) is free and will do this without any issues that I'm aware of.
