A cheaper software alternative to Photoshop is the freeware Gimp, which has a lot of pro features. Gimp works very well, it's main flaw (to me, anyway) is that the workflow is a bit clunky. That could be me just being too stuck in my ways with Photoshop, though.

Always wondered how to get BIG pics posted on this forum:




Well that works but its no bigger than the regular VK forum, only 511 X 400 pixals. maybe thats the max size of Picture Trail's URLs...........Tom. So how did Bob G get his full page??

It depends on how you link. Say that you have a picture stored on some other website. If you paste that URL into your message, you get a link that people can click to view the photo:

http://antiqueradio.org/art/Discovery.gif

If you enclose that URL in [IMG] [/IMG] tags, the photo shows up here in its native size, which may be big or small:



That's what results when you insert a photo using the Insert Image button at the top of the message editing box.

Displaying a super-giant photo in a message isn't a great idea. People with smaller screen resolution then have to scroll back and forth to read any text in messages on that page. For a very large photo, use the first method and give people a clickable link.
