Photo bucket of poop is pay to play.

You can not even see your pictures unless you pay 

oh, I didn't know that. I'm sure I still have pictures there though.

Here's what i'm doing, besides taking a break and drinking a beer now- i've posted examples before, but anyhow, here we see in this first photo a tiny little section of this Ford van. That's how big it is on the computer screen, untouched, straight from the camera.

You have to shift the picture up and down and back and forth to see everything. Then when I reduce the size to where the whole picture fits the computer screen, you get this.

Then I can see what I want to do, get an idea what to crop if anything, maybe take a light pole out. Sometimes it's more hassle than it's worth to try to get rid of a pole, but sometimes it's easy. I just copied and pasted sections of the grass between the van and the pickup when the picture was full size, that way it's barely noticable when the size is reduced. That's why in the "finished product" you don't see any of that pickup directly under the yellow trash can. Then i'll end up with something like this-

But I enjoy doing it anyway, it's actually kind of fun. And i'll do that for every picture, all 206 of them. Some are simply just smallerizing and cropping, so it doesn't take long. So if somebody like, say, 1958FWD is walking by waving when i'm about to take a picture I just think "keep walking you jackass, two more steps and I can crop you right out of the picture". 😆

 Tom,  Thanks for all the great work posting these pictures. I must try to get back up there again. but it seems there is always a show down here that weekend. All of my pictures are on my desk top computer.. I make a copy and light enhance and crop the ones I use in the chapter newsletter.. I have never learned how to resize????

I just use the photo program that was on the computer at first, I don't have photo shop or anything. It's called "Paint".  I just right-click on a picture, any picture- here's a just a random picture that was on facebook-

when you right click you get this pop-up box, then you click "save image".

 

Then this will come up, you can choose where to save it, pictures, documents, desk top, etc. I saved it to "pictures", just click "save". You can also re-name or number the picture anything you want to, to make it easier to find later, especially if you have thousands of pictures saved like I do. You can do that in the box shown in blue at the lower left, where it says "file name".

.

Then when it's saved you go to "pictures", find the picture, right click on it and another pop-up box opens, click on "open with", another box opens, click on "paint".

Then you'll have this screen-

Look at the top left and you see "resize"...

...just click "resize" and this box drops down. You can make it whatever size you want, by percentage or by pixels. I'll just do 50%, then click "OK".

And here's 50% of original size-

You can do a lot more things with this program, that's just resizing, no cropping, writing, circles, etc, but you can do all that too. And you might have a totally different system like Apple, or Linux, or something that none of this even applies to. Oh well.

You're welcome, yes just take a random picture and play with it. You can make all these designs you see, straight lines, curved lines, circles. You can cut out a section using the dotted line square at the top, right click and copy, then paste, so you can paste the copied section as much as you want, like the extra tires here. You can click on the little medicine dropper looking thing, then click on any color in the picture and it'll use that color for whatever you're doing. I made the yellow scribble with the yellow off the yellow car. Click on the letter to write dialogue. I learned all this just by trial and error, and i'm sure you can do a lot more with it than I know how to do. Just remember when you're working on a picture you want to keep, if you go to "file" and click "save as" it will save the edited one and keep the original, but if you just click "save" it will save the edited one and the original picture will be gone.
