Guess I will give up. Still cant post pictures . See my posts at Lafarge Pg 144

PC is slow I guess .NOW I need to know how to make this larger

Hi pudzy1! :hello: Welcome to the fourm!

Are you using Paint for screen captures? If you are, I might be able to help you get the s'caps bigger.

When you take the s'cap and go into Paint, the entire screen shows up. Click on the 'crop' tool. Shown here. (this is on Windows 7, IE 8, but it's similar on earlier versions)



Outline what you want to be in the s'cap with the crop tool.

Right click on the selected area, select 'cut'

Click on the dark blue box (top, left or file if using an older version) select 'new'. A pop up will ask if you want to save, select 'no'

Paste into the white square. Again using the dark blue box, click 'save as' and save it as a jpg and it should show up as full size.

Also, you may have to change your attributes. Click on the dark blue box (or file) in upper left corner, then 'properties' from the drop down menu. (this sets the size of the white box that you copy your pic into)

This is what I have mine set at...



I don't know if this helps, but if not, holler and I'll see if I can come up with something else.

Pudzzy1, if my instructions don't help, here's a video tutorial by Skipper that might. (I'm more of a visual person, and this is what I used to learn)

Hi Night owl .I did use Skippers video it was a great help to teach me how to use paint .I am just learning to use a PC & I am in my 60s so some of this a little too technical for me yet .I really do want to learn to put pictures in as not many folks are looking or posting about the Lafarge eagles . I finally learned how to use the file to put the pictures in the message .Check some of my crazy posts in Lafarge

MY paint does not look like yours .I have changed some things but not sure what i did lolol but i got it to work now. Maybe tomorrow it may not
THANK THANK YOU. I GOT IT TO WORK. I am so proud of myself.. I even tried another picture & its working ..I am sure its because I changed my attributes to 50 50
THANK YOU SO MUCH NIGHT OWL THANK YOU AGAIN

YAY! Good job Pudzzy!

After looking at your attempts, I thought it might be your attributes. Your computer was seeing the entire white box as part of your s'cap. It's not that I'm good with computers, but I've made similar mistakes.

*ahem* I'm in my late fifties, so who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks!

Glad I could help!
