Laura & Jenn - Yet another question on homestead.com

Sorry, but I have another question! I just bought a scanner, so I created an album and posted a few pictures. However, they`re slightly distorted when they fit to size in the album box.
Does anyone know how this can be edited? I`ve searched around, but cannot find help there!

Thanks

I think you need a photo editing program. Like Mr.Presto

The scanner came with a program, but strangely enough, the pictures looked fine there. It was when they fit to size in the smaller album (which I don`t think you can make bigger) it became distorted.
I was hoping there was some way of editing it in homestead. I guess not?

I havent found anything yet, Ill let you know if I do. I have to work on our pictures too. The scanner rollers put lines all over the pictures.

Teri * I just thought of something

I used the photo element instead of the photo album element there is still some distortion but you can get different sizes. Hope that helps

Sorry I can''t be of much help. I didn''t put any photo albums on my website. I just added regular photos which are easily sized by clicking and dragging the corners.

That's easy

hold down the shift key while you are resizing it---so if you are clicking on the pic and pulling at the corners hold the shift key down

hope that helps

Laura - Who Knew??!!

Go figure with that little trick - Thanks everyone for all the tips! I couldn`t have created my site without your help :)

I spoke too soon..

...sorry, I`m back - I tried to use the shift key, and it didn`t work. It seems that you have no choice to change the photo, other than when I`m scanning it in. Which gets me mad, b/c I just bought a brand new scanner. I try and re-size the photo when I scan it in, but there`s no way to judge if it will look right on the website!
Maybe I should give up and just start planning our wedding instead! :)

what scanner are you using and what program came with it? I can help you with this--yes you can do it and once you figure it out you are going to kick yourself ;-)
