Picture Resizing - A Guide on getting those pics of yours to not blur on the cards...

[zachy_syko]

EDIT: This is the same guide i did the other day but people might confuse it with a question so instead i wrote is was a guide...anyway on with the guide!

 

OK I'm not sure if there is a guide like this already but if there is you now have 2 to refer to :D

 

The first step is to have the image obviously. Next, you'll need a picture editing program. I suggest something like Paint.NET which is great software that costs you nothing. Next step is to open up the image in your program. The next is to create a new image with the canvas size 244 x 248 pixels (which I measured precisely. Now paste your image into the canvas but don't choose to expand the canvas. Once you've done that, resize the image to make the main picture you want fit into the canvas. Save as, upload and voila! You have the perfect fit!

 

Hope this has been helpful:)

Awesome tutorial. This will help a lot of people. But, does it have to be that exact size? I just resize my images to 300 by 300... :/

This is just the exact size of the picture frame. You can set it at any resolution but the pic may stretch and blur, especially if the picture has large dimensions. Small dimension may be ok though, im not sure:)

I thought large pictures were good... :/

Aren't small pictures the ones that were going to be stretched?

ok i'll show you what i mean

 

btw don't take these cards seriously :lol:

 

ok heres the original pic im using

 

now heres what happens if i don't clip and resize it

 

looks alright but you can tell its stretched

 

now heres the same one but clipped and resized to fit 244 x 248

 

can you see the difference? you may get a little more zoom but the picture doesnt stretch. the more square the pic however, the less cropping and resizing there is to do if you can see my point. the more wide or tall the more clipping s required.

 

hope this helped.
