Not sure about one for the MAC, sure Viv or Tony will know though. Otherwise email me a pic and I can do it for you.

If your using iphoto on the 'Mac, choose the picture you want to resize (xyz.jpg) and then choose to 'export' the photo. You can then opt to leave the original size or choose a smaller size (I think medium works on here but I am at work so can't be sure without actually seeing the settings). You can then rename the file (xyz_small.jpg) or whatever you decide. Then use that photo to upload to the forum using the usual 'manage attachments' button

Thanks Paul - i'll give that a try. Can you resize the actual pixel size as well using that?? Im wanting to resize pics for my sig and avatar.

iphoto has some smaller settings I think, but without it being in front of me, I am struggling to remember from memory!

You could also try this for avatars, etc..

or I think Preview resizes photos very simply, and is faster and uses less resources than iPhoto. Open a photo in Preview, then click Tools > Adjust Size:

Many thanks Paul!

Ps; love the way it states on the Bilstein box that they are fully tested at the Nurburgring!! Cant wait to try them out there myself!!!

Sweet, looks just like mine

Best on road and track suspension out there. The drive back from Simpsons is going to be fantastic

Try Photoshop CS4, well in budget

or push the boat out and go for the Creative Suite

I wish!!! No, sadly not - but it will do soon if all goes to plan!!!

Cant wait to see it!

If I were modding it I'd do this:

Looks a bit more "modded" compared to the standard CSL colour. Then again you did something similar to your E92, so you may think it's played out. I'm just a fan of black rims I guess especially on black or white cars.

beemerbird · 01-19-2010, 01:15 PM

Steve, have you still got the GTR?

ElegantSpoon · 01-19-2010, 01:19 PM

Just use preview to change the size of your images

Just open the image then go tools, adjust size. Easy!

Hoops · 01-19-2010, 02:36 PM

No Helen, the GT-R has gone. Was very sad to see it go but ive decided to invest a large sum of money into a new business venture which we launched literally a few days ago.

I can relate to that sentiment Steve and I look at it as having owned, thoroughly enjoyed the experience and 'got the T shirt' so to speak.

Something similar to aim for in the future perhaps.......certainly my current 'goal'.

Just don't refer to the M3 as a 'stop gap' as I did the S5.........I'll never live that down.

I definitely feel very privileged to have owned some truly amazing cars and ive enjoyed every moment. But i had a lot of money tied up in "toys" and im now focussing more on the future. Loved the "stop gap" comment!! Think you can get away with that a little more on here - but i wouldnt dare say such a slanderous thing on M3cutters!!!!!

Would be very amusing to watch the keyboard warriors come out.

Imagine the reaction to calling an E46 M3 a "stop gap" until the 340d comes out!
