Re: How to post a picture
Could I ask a final question that im not sure has been covered. When posting a picture I notice mine are rotated wrong. Do I need to edit the photo to the correct orientation in another package or on the PC first or is there some way to do it using the forum software?

Re: How to post a picture
This has been covered before and I believe the answer, to stopping your photo being rotated when 'attaching' and 'placing it in line' via the forum, is to crop it a shade from the original "in another package or on the PC first" (there's bound to be some photo editing software /App on your phone) before attaching it in the forum software (it can't be done via the forum).Deks wrote: ↑Tue Apr 20, 2021 8:44 pm Could I ask a final question that im not sure has been covered.

PS> I can't offer first hand experience on this as I generally upload all my photos via TapaTalk.

Re: How to post a picture
So I take many pictures using my Sony mobile phone and then upload them to my PC.
More often than not, only a couple of the pictures are usable.
Anyway, what I do is, on my Windows based PC, open each one in Paint application and then:

Anyway, what I do is, on my Windows based PC, open each one in Paint application and then:
- Reduce the size of the image using the Zoom function in the bottom right hand corner;
- Use the Select > Rectangular selection and drag across the picture to the part of the picture I want;
- Use the Cut option;
- Select File > New
- You'll be asked if you want to Save the current file - Don't Save;
- In the new window, select Paste;
- Select Crop
- Select Resize and reduce by Percentage (I usually start with 50% while "maintain aspect ratio")
- Once completed, select File > Save As to save the file to a folder on your PC.
- You can then upload the image into a thread using the Attachments tab > Add Files option.
