TUTORIAL - How to post a picture : hosting, cropping, resizing, etc.
You need to host a picture that is locally stored on your computer to an online site.
I'm usually using
imgur.com that is free (no registration) and reliable.
1- The first step is to host your image stored locally by clicking on "upload images".
2- Click on "browse your computer" that will open a dialog box to navigate through the computer's folders to select the file (your image).
3- Once selected, the window will be refreshed like this. Click on "Start upload".
4- When your image is uploaded, you can crop it to better focus on the subject of the picture. You are going to edit your image. Click on "Edit image".
5- Select the "Crop/Resize" tool. The pointer of your mouse will change to a cross shape. Click on the mouse button and hold it to open a rectangle that will be the new frame of your image.
6- You can adjust each edge of the rectangle for a better fitting. Grab (click and hold) one of a small square.
7- Once reframed as you like, apply the new frame/selection.
8- The size is still a bit too large. It's better when the larger dimension (width or height) is not more 800 pixels. Here I'm changing the larger one (height) to 800 pixels. Mouse -> click in the "height" box -> enter "800" with numeric keypad -> Enter key (or click "Apply").
.
9- Now you need to "Save" the cropped and resized image. It will save it on IMGUR, not on your computer.
10- Click in the "BBCode (message boards & forums)" frame box to highlight its content.
11- Mouse right click to copy the link, paste it in the window of your message in the Fasttech forum. Done.
