I want to post some screenshots from FS2004 but I am unsure if they should go in this forum or another one...

I have to edit them and they are still in .bmp format, are more than 1 MB, and are wallpaper size.

Also, my copy of photoshop is on my other drive (my computer has a removable HD and my utilities are on the other one from my games)

I'd do it tonight, but I want to see what that new patch for LOMAC has fixed...I also want to fly from Mackinac to...somewhere else.

Okay, so I'm lazy Grin

Well first you want to read this. If you are making an edit, it should be put in the "Edited pictures" forum. I've never posted a screenshot but I pretty much get the idea how to so, good luck! Hope to see some nice ones 8) Grin

Hey Jordan,

Post the screenshots in either the Freeware, Edited or Payware Screenshot forums, just make sure that the pics are no bigger than 800x600 and 100Kb. There is a freeware utility called PIXresizer that can convert the size of the bitmaps from 1024x768 to 800x600. It also gives you the choice of saving the image in different formats.

Thanks.

I have also noticed members posting shots in this forum, so I assume it's permissible?

Found the instructions and downloaded PIXresizer (quicker to use than Irfanview in my opinion!)

I just posted some screeshots here

Both the plane and the Mackinac Bridge are downloaded and installed. Since I live in Northern Michigan (USA), I'm a bit partial to this landmark. Now if someone could make the Old Mission lighthouse...

It depends...

If you have a problem like blocky graphics (For example), then it will probably be allowed, but if you want to post a few screenshots of a 777 landing at LAX, then it will probably be moved to one of the screenshots forums.

Been there already, thanks. It was where to post them I was most concerned with.
