6. To all of us - you - struggling with my request
Thu Feb 3, 2022, 08:44 PM

first let me say I regret making it, but now that we have the dilemma let me tell you what I have learned.
First, the old timers like myself know that I am a rank amateur in all of this, but I take some acceptable photos and can run a contest.

In the past I used photobucket. Don't remember how that worked, but they priced themselves out of most of our budgets.

Then I went to Imgur and my photos were always too large, I was embarrassed, often asked for help and got it, and then I found

POSTIMAGE.ORG

I put my photo on my desktop after cropping and or editing and then open Postimage. On the very first page asks me what size I want it, I click on the size and bingo it uploads it and gives me the link.

It works and comes out the correct size each time, no matter what size it is on my desktop.
Thanks for paying attention, try it, and you will probably like it as much as I do.

Other than that, I wish I had just let it go. Especially because I am not knowledgable enough to examine a photo's particulars to see the size. All I have is my eyes. And Peggy - your photo is the right size.
Live and learn.
