Resize an image, upload it to Pixentral and post a thumbnail into a forum thread.

[Wendy]

First Resize your image using Save for Web in PSE

Open your image then do File>Save for Web

When the Save for Web dialogue box come up there is a section over on the bottom right hand side where you can change the pixels size to 700 or 750 pixels (see A) if you tick Constrain Proportions then you only need to change the longest side then just click on Apply.

Next take a look at the new size (B) ... if it is still too big (above say 125k or 150k) then use the quality slider (C) until the size is OK



Once you have done that then save the image using a new file name.

Next go to Pixentral and we will upload the image.

Up at the top you will see a box marked "Your Image" over to the right is "Browse" which you need to click on.

Now negotiate your way to the image which you saved with the new file name, click on it and then click on Open at the bottom of the box.

Once you have done that you will go back to Pixentral and all you need to do then is click on "Send" and your image will upload onscreen.

Once it has uploaded onto the screen, scroll down under the image and you will see a box marked "Forum".

Copy the link that is next to it .

Finally add the image to a thread on the forum.

To do that all you need to do is paste the link into your thread here on the forum.

... and there you go
