Photo Gallery Guide - How to Resize, Upload & Post Photos

[420]

PC USERS

Welcome to the step by step guide to the 420 Magazine Photo Gallery.

We use a photo gallery on this forum to keep photos organized and easy to access. The process is easy once you get the hang of it. First you upload the photo to the appropriate sub-gallery, then you can view it directly or link to it a thread, as will be explained below.

Our photo gallery is only for Cannabis, Hemp and directly related images.

Photos of anyone looking even remotely like a minor, will be deleted without warning.

Non-420 photos may only be uploaded to our "Off-Topic" photo gallery. Please note these photos must be appropriate and otherwise conform to our off topic photo tutorial and guideline.


RESIZING PHOTOS

To start off, you need to make sure your pictures are the correct format.
Our gallery accepts jpg, jpeg, gif, png file formats.
Photo size must not exceed 10MB.

If your photos are larger than 10MB:
Adobe Photoshop, Aperture and Microsoft Office Picture Manager can resize your photos.

If you don’t have any of these programs, here are some links to free online photo resizing tools:

Online Image Resizer - Resize digital photo, images or pictures online
Resize Images online
Resize Images Online at ResizePic


UPLOADING PHOTOS

Click on the Gallery button from the drop down menu that can be found at the top of any 420 Magazine page.



When the gallery main page opens, click on the 'Upload Photos' button.



When the 'Photo Upload' window opens you'll have three things to do.

First choose the category you want your picture in.



Second click on the 'Browse' tabs to gain access to your computers image gallery where you'll select your picture for uploading.



Third you'll need to click the 'Upload/Submit' button to begin upload process.



TIP: Insert your pics in the proper categories. Buds into 'Buds' category, Plants in 'Plants', etc. All of those images will then appear in your own 'Members Gallery' automatically as well as being available in their proper categories where most gallery gazers tend to look.


EMBEDDING PHOTOS IN THREADS USING THE CAMERA ICON

Click on the camera icon.



A new window will open up with thumbnail versions of the photos in your gallery.

Search for the photo you want to post and click on it.



The photo will automatically be inserted into your post.



After you have selected the photos you want to post, click the "Close This Window" button.



Now you can finish your post and click on the Submit Reply button.




EMBEDDING PHOTOS IN THREADS USING THE PHOTO URL

Go to the Photo Gallery, select the picture you'd like to insert in the post and click on it.



Once the new window with your picture opens, click on the photo again to open the larger version of it (using the larger version helps other members to see more details in your photo).

Right click on the photo in the box that pops up and select the "Copy Image Location" option.



Now you are ready to post your photo.

Go to your post and click on the Insert Image icon.



The Insert Image box will appear. Right click in the box and choose Paste.



Then click OK.



Now your photo is in your post.



Finish your post and click on the Submit Reply button.
