My only guess it that you might be using the wrong link.

It should look like it does in my post.

Well cudgee looks like 21 is the charm. Congrats! As for resizing - don't know IMGUR but you will need a crop and/or resize image function that is likely offered in their program.

Rykjeklut - yes your sig line thread title is self explanatory - didn't mean to suggest that you needed to rename so much as that you could make it a hot link. No need to add a title - just insert the link.

Oh wow. I hadn't realized that it didn't actually lead anywhere until just now.
Guess we're all learning something in this thread.

As far as I know Imgur doesn't resize your pictures, but there are several sites out there that do. Just a quick search for "image resizer" gave me tons of hits. Can't vouch for any of them tho.

Would like to thank everyone for all your help, it has been a great help and very much appreciated. Would like to give special mention to RayseM , jlauffer and Rykjeklut , thank you all for your patience. And just so you all know for future reference, you can resize on imgur, the only trick is you have to do it " Before " you download your photo. And i must say, imgur have been fantastic to deal with, answered all my queries promptly and with images and language a computer illiterate could understand, and nothing was too much trouble for them. So you all have a great week.

Cheers, Ray

Glad you got it figured out. Now I need to post my own tech support thread...don't seem to be getting alerts when someone tags me

Go to your profile page, and see what alerts you have turned on, i think it is under alert preferences.

Yeah I checked that...they're all on. Last time I noticed I was tagged and didn't get an alert i went in and turned that one off and back on, guess it didn't work.

Just a basic photo editor program will help a lot. Lighting/shadow correction and cropping are essential, IMHO. I use Adobe Photo Shop Elements. There are others.

Composition is worth studying too. Backgrounds and keeping random stuff out of the photo, and in your case (CASE ) above, keeping the foam background high enough to be a complete background rather than just a portion of the background behind the blade, would have helped. There are folks who use light boxes. Their results are much more consistent. I like photos taken outside or with creative backgrounds. Lighting in all these cases is key. Sunny days with lots of shadows make good knife photography - with shiny surfaces - especially challenging.
