Thank you...
I've not entered George, instead it's a picture of a puffer I saw while diving in the Red Sea (but you can still vote for it )

Re: POTM entries needed ASAP!!
I have tried to use the picture editing thingy, but am a bit useless I'm afraid & file still too big. How the devil do I go about reducing its size?

Do you use photoshop? If so, go to Image/ Image size.... change it into smaller dimensions (largest side 800 pixels), then save as jpg at 11 quality at mostbigfatfish wrote:I have tried to use the picture editing thingy, but am a bit useless I'm afraid & file still too big.

If you don't, I could resize it for you over email. You'll have my word that I'm not gonna do anything else with it and delete it from my hard drive once it's done (I'll send you my email address via PM)

Re: POTM entries needed ASAP!!
I use the export function in Picasa to resize...
File
Export picture to folder
select the appropriate size there
Ok
So, as George is still blushing and hiding away at the compliment, you've decided to enter?

I don't take great pictures & my camera is a bit rubbish, but I like the picture that I had in mind!

Re: POTM entries needed ASAP!!
Yeah, my camera knows more about taking pictures than I do LOL - I just go law of averages... if I take LOADS of pictures one or two are bound to be okay
I look forward to seeing your piccy!

Re: POTM entries needed ASAP!!
Thank you all who sent in entries. There are still two openings, so those of you who haven't entered yet.. get to it!
Remember, as long as a previous entry didn't win the month it was entered, it can be re-entered
I leave tomorrow for a camping trip, so if we don't fill up by morning, I'll be gone all weekend and either one of the other techs will have to take over or the contest won't be posted until Sunday or Monday at the earliest.
