I was going to take plunge and post to the crop challenge but it won't let me..quota something. I see you all are now using this pixentral. Could someone explain what this is and how to use it.
Thanks

Sorry - duplicated post - go to next one.

Sure. Go to www dot pixentral dot com; browse for your picture and then hit "send." When the picture is loaded, there will be two "urls" at the bottom of the picture. (See Example here) http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?pictu ... WkleKK6jA1
Highlight the second one, copy it (Control C [Command C on Mac]; then come back to your post and paste it (Control V [Command V on Mac]). Someone better with screen shots will probably come along.

Taz, it's easy.
I'm not going to tell you how to "save for web", you obviously know how to do that. You want a Jpeg image with the longest size anywhere from 500 to 800 or so pixels (for some things I have gone much higher) as that's a good size for viewing on a screen.

Go to http://www.pixentral.com/index.php
I suspect all of us have that address in favorites so it's just one click.



On the first screen you see, click "Browse" and then, after your file is loaded, click "Send". That takes you to the next screen where you see your loaded image and, below it, two web addresses. the SECOND one is what you want to copy. It's pretty long. The easiest way is to repeatedly click on it - 3 times usually works - when it is highlighted, copy and paste into your post.

When you post the link you will not see your image thumbnail. You will see it after you "send" your post.
