  • i pick a picture for my page  from  my  files, one i took myself….  and it looks ok…on the  page its too big  and   some  is  chopped off, distorting  the image…….. any  easy fix for this?.

  • what’s the url?

  • thanks  mitch     http://www.facebook.com/greenoakantiques    its the post  from  yesterday….with the owls @mitch-rezman  the  bottom of the shelf is  gone  on  my view ….there should  be owl pillows   at the  bottom….

  • Ann, I figured when I want the picture to be shown completely on the timeline, I size it down to 270x270px. That worked for me in the past.

  • me again – I just fell over this thread:

    http://www.socialmediaexaminer.com/clubs/facebook/forum/topic/the-ultimate-social-media-image-sizing-cheat-sheet/?#post-47108

    this might help as well. shows a different size to what I mentioned, but I think the relation width:length is what is important…

  • @annfurnivall per the post above crop to 389 x 296 – 296 x 398 – 320 x 320

  • THANKS…well…heck i  cant do all that..i can  barely work my camera…and  we got the easiest one for me…….  too hard for me….wierd ,some  pictures  work  and some dont….i am a tekk dud…..i guessif i take pictures  with  extra  empty space  that  could help…. 

  • @annfurnivall http://www.picresize.com/

  • thanks mitch….im  going to show   THIS handy tool  to my tekk worker   fOR   the next  real important picture that   doesnt come  out right…….. its  just not something i  would  want to tackle…andi  do  most of the posting..

    ..i actually  dont  know  even    the computer  basics,  like how to use  files or   word or bookmarks  or   where to put   that link  till i need it again or where to  find it..etc….  i cant  navigaate most parts of   my  computer….i just use it to   post on  facebook and  on   a few  forums…. i  cant even move pictures around in my files….im hoping to learn that this week…its  just not my  thing…i do  use my  favorites  button and   my pictures go  into a file   the  workers set up for me….by month…so i can  do a  little  with  my  pictures on  facebook and pinterest…

    i think  we had  trouble wit h  this on our website too….then i  heard  that   different  computers   showed  different   sizes….. 

  • @Ann – if you want to be successful on the web, it’s essential to learn photo editing – have your tech person show you where images are stored on your computer and just manipulate a couple of dozen – you’ll be a pro in no time:-)

  • thanks  mitch..you are  right  if i did a couople of  dozen in a row it would  be ok…..  BUT.the pics  WORK  GREAT ON  MY PINTEREST  …in other words i use them in different ways….  they set me up a file  by month so i can   get to them…andi  can  deposit  my pictures in the file  by just walking by!!! so  cool….  we are  wilreless i  think….

      hey!!….i have almost  3000 fb fans using    my   pictures and skill level…i was looking for an  easy  fix…lol…….my tekk person  can   probbaly  do it….bu t i do  most of the posting…. 

    im not against learning…i just have a lot  of  other jobs in front of it…anyway i thanks you for the link im  giving it to my tekk person in case she doesnt have one…
