Good luck with margot :fc:
Twinkle had 13 piglets on tuesday night started at 10pm and last one born at 00.15 so not bad going, all thriving and she's such a good mum. Only had one worry that she was breathing so rapidly whilst farrowing because of the heat that she was going to have a heart attack, had to keep cooling her behind ears with vinegar and damp flannels, also dripped water into her mouth to try to keep her cool. All fine now. :relief:

Margot and babies are doing brilliantly. Tried to download some photos but the image is too big, how do I downsize it as I want to show off the new babies
-
you can often resize them whilst still on your fone/camera. either before the photo is take or after.

We have a program called Fine Pix Viewer, but many others will do the same job. Import and select the photos you want to re-size. Press File, then Batch Resize. In the box called "Way of Saving", create a new file for them to go into where it says "Save to". Then, the crucial re-sizing bit: change the file type from JPEG-fine down to JPEG-normal or JPEG-basic. Both of these produce photos with tiny amounts of bytes - not much difference between them either in number of bytes, or quality, in my opinion. Then, very important, de-tick "Overwrite" and "Delete the original file", otherwise you will lose the good quality, high byte, version for all time. I leave the top box, called "Re-size" completely alone. When you have done all of this, press OK and you should get re-sized photos in your new file which TAS, Farming Ads, and similar sites can process.

Or, email them to me ( [email protected] ) and I'll resize them for you and post them if any of the above suggestions sound like gobbldy gook ;) :thumbsup:
