semantic nuance Posted February 27, 2012 at 09:25 AM Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 at 09:25 AM Hi, Can anyone here help me out with this question related to image enlargement? I find when I click the image on this forum, it will enlarge. I'd like to know what kind of software I should use if I want the images posted not as original sizes but enlarged when someone clicks them? Thanks in advance!

Demonic_Duck Posted February 27, 2012 at 11:03 AM Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 at 11:03 AM Most likely just attached pictures. To attach one you need to go to the full reply screen (click "more reply options") and it's below the text input field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted February 27, 2012 at 11:06 AM Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 at 11:06 AM I'm not quite sure what you mean. If you want to resize images before posting them there are services such as this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted February 27, 2012 at 11:09 AM Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 at 11:09 AM Yes I agree with #2. IIRC the pictures posted automatically become thumbnails, and will enlarge when you click on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liuzhou Posted February 27, 2012 at 01:24 PM Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 at 01:24 PM Yes, just post the images, or link to them if they are held on another website. Whatever size they are, unless already small, they will automatically be reduced here, and clicking on them will lead to enlargements. You don't have to do anything.

semantic nuance Posted February 28, 2012 at 12:24 AM Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 at 12:24 AM Thank you guys for your help. I wasn't thinking about posting pictures here while I asked this question. I was just curious to know how the enlargement was made. @roddy and skylee: sorry for being not clear. Thank you, roddy, for that link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imron Posted February 28, 2012 at 12:32 AM Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 at 12:32 AM I was just curious to know how the enlargement was made. I think the thing to realise is that you're not so much enlarging the image. Rather you start with the larger image and then shrink it, and then only show the shrunken down version to people at first. If you start with a smaller image and enlarge it, the image will become heavily pixelated and lose detail, so you can't just have some sort of software that accurately enlarges some random image.

semantic nuance Posted February 28, 2012 at 12:45 AM Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 at 12:45 AM Thanks, imron, for the explanation. @roddy: I just tried the link you gave me. I tried to use it, and when the photo was done, I was asked to post my email address for them to send me a url link to post on website. However, after I've done the request, nothing appeared in my mailbox. Do you happen to know anything wrong with it? EDIT: never mind, I've found it in the junkmail. I checked the link but couldn't work while I tried to post it on my blog. It didn't work, saying the link cannot be identified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semantic nuance Posted February 28, 2012 at 01:10 AM Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 at 01:10 AM 假設性問題: 假設我要在我的blog 裏貼上圖片，我想要用縮圖 (這樣畫面不會太突兀)，然後點擊縮圖之後，圖片就會放大(因為我想要呈現原始大小的畫素)，我要怎麼作? 我只是好奇這個過程怎麼做到的? 謝謝!! Sorry, I want to be clear so I use Chinese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted February 28, 2012 at 01:21 AM Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 at 01:21 AM I think you can first post your image on websites like imageshack, and then post the relevant thumbnail in your blog. This might be helpful -> http://learn-bbcode....-clickable.html Or google how to use thumbnail etc. PS - but if your blog is on blogspot and you use windows live writer to post your blog post, I think this is automatically done. Take this post of mine for example, if you click on the images, a larger version will be shown. But I don't recall if the larger versions are of the original size.

semantic nuance Posted February 28, 2012 at 01:30 AM Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 at 01:30 AM Thank you, skylee. I'll read what you suggest. What is windows live writer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted February 28, 2012 at 01:45 AM Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 at 01:45 AM windows live writer is a free software you can download and install in your computer to help you post to your blog without logging on to your blog everytime. You can save your drafts in your pc, and post the same writing to different blogs easily. I now maintain three identical blogs (I don't know why I do this) and I find this software helpful. It is easy to use. Take a look -> http://explore.live.com/windows-live-essentials-other-programs?T1=t4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semantic nuance Posted February 28, 2012 at 01:58 AM Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 at 01:58 AM Thank you very much, skylee. I'm still digesting the bbcode article, not so easy to understand for me. I guess windows live writer might be a little easier to try. Thanks again!
