kdmorgan Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 I wanted to post a picture of my label to see what you think. Please don't pay attention to the candle lol . I am working on testing my container candles but wanted to try something different so I decided to try my first chuck. As you can tell it needs alot of work (not overfilling the container would help :embarasse )Sorry my picture isn't the clearest. Jayko & Ashby is at the top. You can see it very plain when you are looking at the candle but it's not very clear in the picture.[ATTACH]11101[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homecomfort Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 You're right, it's tough to see in this pic but from what I can see - I think it looks good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's not a very good picture but if I try to load my clear pictures the file is too big. I have to use the economy setting on my camera to get files small enough to download to the board.:undecided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homecomfort Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Thanks. I know it's not a very good picture but if I try to load my clear pictures the file is too big. I have to use the economy setting on my camera to get files small enough to download to the board.:undecidedHere's something you can try to get the size of your pics small enough to post yet keep their detailed clarity. This is what I always do. Take the pic with your camera as usual achieving the most optimal clarity. Save the pic to your PC. Navigate to the folder where you saved the pic > left click on the pic file (causing it to highlight) > then right click > select Open With > select Paint (there are a number of other graphics software that you can use to open the file but for purposes of shrinking the size I find Paint to be the simplest) Once the pic is opened in Paint > select Image from the toolbar at the top of the screen > select Stretch/Skew (the Stretch/Skew window should now pop up) > in the Stretch Horizontal and Vertical boxes change the 100% to something down like 25% (make sure you enter the same percent in both Horz. and Vert. or your image will distort in shape/size) > select ok > select File in the toolbar > select save.Now try to post the pic, if it's still too big, you can redo the steps above and enter a new %.It may sound complex but I assure you it's quite simple. Just something to try on a rainy day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
