attached pic sizing

[rod7515]

As i go thru the posts there are so many pics that are to small to make out the detail the poster or reader can not pick out. What methods can be used to blow these up for a better look. I would guess I would have to copy then use a program to blow it up? Was just wondering how others view pics ?
Thanks Rod

Do you, by chance, have Microsoft Picture Manager?

Sometimes I save a pic, open it with that program and increase the size. It does tend to blur it if you enlarge it too much.

Ctrl + should increment the size of the image larger in MS Internet Explorer (along with the rest of the page). Ctrl - increments down. Same as using View and Zoom in the Menu Bar.

Daves69, Thanks for that tip. I tried it on another thread and it worked much better. I am using chrome so I didnt know if that would work but it did and it helps greatly.
Thanks again.

you can't blow up a photo that's already been reduced down and "gain much." Best thing is when the poster has a high res photo posted off this site which you can "go see" "over there" on the whatever other host site

Also, this site software seems to screw with photos on it's own. This changed somehow, I don't know why

Here's an example.

Flickr actually used to "work." This has changed as Yahoo "improved" Flicker until it was nearly unusable. In any case, this page automatically takes the native photo and scales the photos into several sizes

https://www.flickr.com/photos/18786943@N03/6043395212/sizes/l

the BEST way to display a photo on any site including this one is NOT to use the site upload attachment "thing" but to rather simply link the photo from somewhere else

Here's the smallest photo from the page linked above

https://www.flickr.com/photos/18786943@N03/6043395212/sizes/sq/

and on Flicker, you can "right click" the photo itself and gain the native URL like this

https://c1.staticflickr.com/7/6133/6043395212_e13bbe895b_s.jpg

and adding the photo tags when posting, get it to display like this

and of course you can do the same with larger ones

And larger, 640 X pixels

Now to show you "what you are missing," click this link, which is the original photo uploaded to Flicker. I took this downtown, at the local beach, one noon

The point is you CAN blow up a photo, but it "depends.............."

Your computer / display / browser settings, and how big the display is. You can't expect smart phones to "do everything."

If the photo is low resolution, you can use software to blow it up, but it won't show you much detail. Just a lot of blurred "noise."

The BIG thing is, that people who want to show DETAIL need to learn to crop that out of a photo, and show just that part. For example, if I take the largest photo above, to some little detail, I can crop that out and upload it somewhere like tinypic, photobucket or a bunch of other places, even flickr, or even upload it here as an attachment

Now, to see what the above shot REALLY looks like, open this link directly in a second browser. If you display them side by side, you'll see that THIS SITE slightly magnifies the image as compared to a "native" browser view, and that alone makes it just a bit more blurry

Here is a screenshot to show this. The photo on the left is "as displayed" by this website, that is shot before this last edit. The one on the right is displayed in the browser as uploaded to tinypic, here.............http://i64.tinypic.com/2e5jvk7.jpg

As you can see this gets somewhat complicated, the interaction between various websites, software, and so on
