Firstly, apologies for the small photos - was my first attempt. Well, marked with chalk all round the perimeter, then with tailor`s scissors, and 3 types of sandpaper to finish...cannot spot any non-rounded parts after that!

Looks like you accidently chose the "thumbnail" option for your photos. Besides the size of the photos the other clue is this:

http://thumb14.webshots.net/t/63/663/6/75/80/2162675800103423414KJQVzx_th.jpg

I don't know how webshots.net works, though, so I can't tell you for sure how to correct it.

Regards,
Tom

Help needed in downloading

I had taken the photos from my portable phone, and initially thought it was the setting that kept them small. But after taking new photos at a new setting, and downloaded as a test, the size is still small. Where am I possible going wrong? I have to save my photos on the server, correct, and need to download then through a URL link only? I am using websots, and at no time am I asked for the size of the picture in the download, and neither on this site. Where do I select the photo size? Many thanks:(

I wish I could help but when I take a pic with my phone that I want to post I send the pic by text to my email account and then pull that up on the computer and import it to photobucket. When it shows up in my email it is full size. Don't know if that helps any or not, sorry.:eek:

Finally sorted out the sizes!

Here we go again:

My Stylemaster trimmed down to 1 7/8" - cut with tailors scissors by a seamstress and sanded with 3 grades to finish off the edge
