I just cheated on my 8N

[spanky8N]

But I believe I can have both tractors in my life!! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif I have just offically joined the pack! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif I purchased a DK45s about a week ago. It has been an impressive machine so far. The kl451 loader is a brute. It took two years to make up my mind...I bet I test drove 2 dozen machines. I am confident I made the right choice. Pictures attached.

Sorry again...I have never posted pictures before. What is the best size reducing software out there? I will wait for some tips on posting pictures before I try again....tips anyone?

I use MS paint to stretch the photo to a smaller size, 50% in each direction until the pic is just under 100KB.

It is very easy to change the size of the images. Here is what I recommend: Go to this site and download IrfanView. It is a free image editing program. One you have it installed, you can use it to change your JPGs around. When you have the image you want opened with IrfanView, go to the Image menu and click Resize/Resample. In the Set New Size area type in the new size. Both the width and height will automatically be sized proportionately. I would recommend a size of 640 x 480 (or 800 x 600 if the file is small enough (more on that later)). Click ok. Now you are ready to save the image. I would recommend choosing a different name than the one for the original image. Click File - Save As. In the Save As Type drop down box choose JPG - JPEG Files. Type in your new file name in the File Name area. At the top, choose a location you can remember in the Save In drop down field. In the Save Options box to the right choose a Save Quality of about 50 or so. This is the JPG compression. The higher the number (best), will mean lower compression but bigger file sizes. The lower the number (lowest) will mean smaller file sizes (more compression) but the image won't look as good. I find 50 to be a decent compression setting. Next, you can make sure you are under the 100kb limit on the forums by finding your newly edited photo and right clicking on it. Choose Properties. In the Size field or Size On Disk field, it should have a reading of 100k or less. Also, if you want better image quality or larger photos, you can start a TBN Photo Gallery in the Photos section of the site. You are allowed images up to 500kb with a max alotted space of 5mb. Hope this helps.

Thanks Mr. DePratt for an awsome tractor, members of the site for all the advice, and JayC for the picture hints.

I use PIXresizer. It's freeware,and you can download it {HERE} . It's so darn easy to use. You can re-size a single pic, or if you have a bunch, you can dump them into a new folder, and do a batch re-size, all with just a couple of mouse clicks.
