So, the 'how to' from me, and images that McFez gave us are out-dated. Like other new things, I am not liking the additional effort to make a photo
fit on Nomad... but maybe they will bring back the 'Upload Options' feature?
Now, once again: Nomad web page frame is 800 pixels wide. If you don't resize, the standard width is just over 1000 pixels, and you will need to
scroll off to the right to see the whole photo, or shrink the size of Nomad and squint!
HOW TO RESIZE PHOTOBUCKET PHOTOS FOR BAJA NOMAD WIDTH:
1) Place your mouse arrow on the thumbnail photo in your Photobucket Album, a gear symbol will appear in the photo thumbnail to edit (or select edit
for the photo if already there).
2) Click EDIT and let photo load on the page that appears.
3) Above photo, click RESIZE button (above photo).
4) Width and height values are shown with a padlock between them. The padlock is there to insure you don't distort the photo when you change one of
the values (it 'locks' the width to height ration to remain correct).
5) If the photo is over 800 in width, replace the figure with 800, 640, or other smaller size. No need to change the height figure, it changes
automatically. Photos that are already smaller can be made bigger, as well. The quality may be reduced when enlarging, but not when shrinking.
6) Click Apply and Save (if you check the small box provided you can replace the original, over-size photo with the Nomad-friendly photo, otherwise
you will have both sizes in your Photobucket album).
====================================================
If I find that there is a Upload Options (so all photos will re-size when uploading from your PC) or if Photobucket adds it, I will share it. Until
then, new photos added to your album will need to be individually edited if they are over 800 pixels in width.
McFez is good at posting the appearance of the page, hope he can show you! |
