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 ;D

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) ;D

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.

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.
