I have been trying to take a picture off the web or my computer and send it to mspaint so i can write a illustration on them. every time a try to put them in my photobucket account they appear smaller then the pic in my sig. so i was wondering if anyone out there knows how to do it correctly so were you can actually see the pic.

also i am having trouble with the size of pics after downloading them to photobucket. 2 pics the same size come out diferent sizes so wtf is goin on?

anyone with some kinda insight please help me out.

 

I crop, resize pics in photoshop then upload them on photobucket.

 

its not even the size of the pic.. its the size of the file.. i believe anything over 350 KB will be automatically resized to a shitty size by photobucket. If you have it saved as a BMP file its going to be too large for the size you probably want. Make sure its a JPG file to save space and make sure its under 350 KBs and you'll be able to keep the size you want.

 

Photobucket says:


so files over 1MB

 

wow, i swear they just upgraded to 1mb.. i could have sworn it wasn't that big cause it was being a b**** and i had to resize all the time before under 350kb.. oh well 1mb is good now you can basically have any size you want

 

yeah, I've been having the same problems. Pain in the ass.

 

1. Save your pictures as a JPG in paint, NOT AS A BMP. You lose a tiny bit of resolution, but they are MUCH smaller.

2. GET A PREMIUM PHOTOBUCKET ACCOUNT. It's worth it. You can FTP your files that way, and you get unlimited size and such. Videos too.

I've had a Premium account for 2 years now, it's great.
