Digital photos are often taken using high resolution mode. These photos are produced creating a very large file that must be reduced in size to be displayed efficiently over the internet (scaling). Or perhaps you would like just a portion of your photo displayed on your profile page (cropping).
The image upload feature on Racing 2 Cure can scale many photos automatically to fit our requirements. However, this can lead to distorted photos being displayed. The recommended size requirements are listed where you upload photos to the Racing 2 cure website, and it is always best if you can scale and crop your photos to the desired size prior to uploading.
There are several ways to accomplish these tasks, and if you would like to download a great free image editing program, you can try out GIMP. With Gimp you will have near commercial grade capabilities to edit your photos much like Photoshop offers. You can quickly get started using Gimp for scaling and cropping your photos by using this tutorial.
A quick method is to edit your photos online at PicResize.com. Simply upload your photo, then crop, rotate, and resize with just a few clicks. Be sure to save your file using a different name to preserve your original photograph, and upload the new version to the Racing 2 Cure Website.
