IMAGES
- How do I edit an image ready to use on the site?
If you don't own a photo editing program e.g. Photoshop or Gimp I would recommend the online photo editor pixlr. (Photoshop Express Editor is also another good online editor)
1. Go to pixlr
2. Scroll down and click on 'Pixlr Editor' (not Express)
3. Click on 'Upload image from computer' and choose your image
TO RESIZE AN IMAGE and keep the same ratio (e.g. change an image from 200x100px to 100x50px)
1. Click on the menu item 'Image' > 'Image size...'
2. Change the width to your desired width (and the height will change automatically to constrain the image ratio)
3. Click the 'Ok' button
TO RESIZE AN IMAGE and change the image ratio (e.g. change an image from 200x100px to 100x100px)
There are many ways to do this but here is a good option:
(before you begin make sure your image is larger than the final size you want or otherwise it will appear pixelated)
1. Click on the 'Crop' tool (the first tool on the tool bar)
2. Under the 'Constraint' option that appears below the menu choose 'Aspect Ratio' and put your desired size in the width and height
3. Click and drag your cursor over the image to use the tool to select the part of the image you want to crop
4. When you are happy with the area you have chosen press 'enter' on your keyboard to crop that part of the image
5. If your image width is larger than it needs to be you can now use the image resizing instructions above to make it smaller
