click on the "yellow square with the mountain" next to the font/sizing buttons and you can choose an image from your computer (device) and it will insert for you. Hit preview post to see your pic before adding it to the thread.

Thanks! Ms. Bluefin, I appreciate that! I want to say again, "That is one heck of a good looking photo you just posted of your Pretty XKR!" Are you a photographer?

I'm not happy with my 2nd photo! What do I do to change it?

I use an app called "candy cam" to edit my photos. You can adjust lighting, crop, etc...
I just use my cell phone camera...but I do shoot 35mm film.

I trust you don't mind me making a few adjustments to your picture. I rotated it 1.1 degrees clockwise, cropped out the truck and timestamp, then enhanced the focus and adjusted the brightness down and the contrast up by 10% each. This was done in a couple of minutes using a free PC program, XnView. I also have a photoshop knock-off, but that one is heavy and takes more time to do simple adjustments. If I were to use that program, I would remove the bit of truck shadow, that bright reflection on the rocker panel just behind the front wheel, and tone down the sun reflection on the A pillar and fender. That said, XnView is super easy to use, and free, so you might want to download it from a reputable site (CNet, for example).

theweeb, Thanks for editing my ugly photo....I tried to do some of those things that you did but they didn't carry over to this Photo... The other (2) came over about the same as I had set them up.....I'll have to get your program and try it on my next Photo adventure!

Thanks so much! BC in Houston
