Graphics Practice Thread

[bradford_h]

Hi all-
Here's a topic most of you can simply delete. I just needed a place to practice inserting emoticons and graphics without embarrassing myself in a real conversation. I'm no whiz on computers yet.
It's a complete idiots for dummies thread.
Other beginner screwups welcome here too.

And a jpeg

 

[bradford_h]

so Candid-
do you know how to shrink image size? I did these with Photoshop, just using image size, resolution, crop & grayscaale mode commands.

 

[candid]

Brad, yes, I have Paintshop Pro. Your frog looks about the perfect size.

<CENTER>btw, the dog's name is Bandit.</CENTER>

 

[candid]

<BLINK>Can anyone advise as to how to center an image?</BLINK>

[Frankelmick]

Test formatting please ignore

M|blink{|+{|font{wingdings,[}}}ck

replace | with \

M<BLINK><SUP><FONT FACE="wingdings">[</FONT></SUP></BLINK>ck

 

[candid]

Mick... oh.

uh.. think I'll be satisfied with small gains for now.

 

[Sparhawk]

Let's see if it works Candid,

You mean centered like this?

<CENTER>

</CENTER>

Then the code is like this (just eliminate the spaces in between the characters) \ c { \ image {some text here} }

Luis,

You have captured my essence perfectly, perhaps I was wrong about your papparazzi instincts. Seeing myself in this light is like, well...an 'endarkening' experience.

Namaste,
Leonard

 

[Sparhawk]

Well, I told you to keep the sunscreen handy... After some 80 years under the sun without it, this is what happens...

Now is my turn. Please be gentle. (what the heck, give it your best shot...)

[candid]

<CENTER>Thanks Luis. Like this?</CENTER>

<CENTER>

</CENTER>

 

[Sparhawk]

There you go! Also notice that the \ c {} applies to text too.

[cheiron]

Wow!

Here's something I learned the hard way...

My firewall stops me posting graphics to Clarity...

So after browsing and choosing the graphic I want I turn the firewall off and post...

Duh... How do you guys' get round that?

[cheiron]

PS

Candid... Is that you? (grin)... nice one

[candid]

Kev,

No its Stevie Ray Vaughn. I taught him everthing he knew. (right!) That guy rocked! Died in a small plane crash traveling from gig to gig. Shame, such talent and heart.

I'm behind a Trend Micro firewall but it doesn't seem to affect posting graphics here.

Stevie Ray Vaughan

Like a train that stops at every station,
We all deal with trials and tribulations.
Fear hangs the fellow that ties up his years.
Entangled in yellow and cries all his tears.
Changes come before we can grow.
Learn to see them before we're too old.
Don't just take me for tryin' to be heavy.
Understand, it's time to get ready for the storm.
