Image Posting Guide - rich2005 - 10-10-2016
For general posting guidelines see the sections in Help (top right corner) - Posting a New Thread and Posting a Reply.
Posting Images: Before posting an image in this section think about the reason.
If it is a graphic for editing advice:
- Use the New Attachment Option at the bottom of the editor window for jpegs, pngs. If the image is reasonably small, insert it into the post.
[attachment=10]
- Attach a Gimp compressed image file, file.xcfgz. The maximum file size is 2MB. Using a development version of Gimp? Enable the maximum compatibility option.
- Larger images are best placed on a storage site such as http://www.dropbox.com for downloading. Make sure the file is in a public folder or marked for sharing. Include a link in the post.
If it is a problem with using Gimp
- A screenshot is often better than a long description.
Gimp has a built in screenshot tool. Find it in File -> Create -> Screenshot.
- Attach the screenshot as above, but consider
A screenshot of the canvas, gives no/little useful information
[attachment=11]
A screenshot of the whole desktop, a waste of space
[attachment=12]
Edit the screenshot but include as much relevant information as possible, tools, layers, active brushes, fonts etc.

Looking forward to all those Gimped images

What about avatars?
How do I unload an avatar?
Do I need to have a certain number of posts?
Never mind...

Ask for it to be removed ? Maybe replace it with a blank image...
