Again easy onscreen instructions. You will need an E-mail address.
Step 3. Download Photomanager from Hpphoto.com.
You may not need to do this if you already have an image manipulation program which you use to change the size of your pictures after you have transferred them from camera or scanner.
Step 4. Using Photomanger to change image size. Skip this if you use another program, see Step 3.
Run Photomanager.
On the left hand side of the screen near the top you should see a list of files etc. form your computer. At the top is one called Hpphoto Web Album, below that is usually one labelled My Documents. Position the Mouse Cursor over the + sign next to it and Single Left Click. This will 'expand' a list of files. One of them should be the file in which you have saved your photos. For arguments sake I will assume it is called My Pictures.
Single Left Click on the + sign next to My Pictures (or where ever your photos are) if there is one. This should bring up a list of files of your photos, if you have more than one lot of them.
a. Single Left Click on the file of photos you wish to work with. This should put them into the workspace in the middle of the screen as lots of little 'thumbnail' pictures.
b. Position the mouse cursor anywhere on the picture you wish to work with and Single Right Click. A Menu should appear nearby. Single Left Click on Edit
c. A larger version of your picture should appear. Above the picture is a line of Symbols. The 6th one in from the left is 2 arrows in a box. Single Left Click (SLC from now on) in the box. A menu should appear in the middle of the screen.
d. Now you need to choose a size for your photo. For single photos to A4A via Photobucket I use 350 by 262. For 2 photos side by side on A4A I use 250 by 187. Let us assume you are sending 2 pictures to A4A to go side by side. There is no need to move your mouse cursor, just type in 250, the program should do the rest.
e. SLC on OK. A smaller version of your picture should appear in centre screen.
f. Back to the Symbols above your picture. The next to the last one on the right side is a green arrow pointing to the right. If you hold your mouse cursor on it the words Next image will appear. SLC on it.
g. In the Box which obscures your picture you will see the words Save. Save as. Don't Change. SLC on Save As.
Another Menu Box will appear. This is when you need to choose where to save your reduced image and what to call it.
At the top of this Menus is a box with Save in next to it. Usually in the box is the last place you saved a file. At the end of this box is a tiny black downward facing triangle. If you Click on that it will show a list of the folders on your computer. SLC on the folder in which you wish to save your images. Its name should appear in the box. If you have sub folders they will appear in the box below that. Select the one you want with a SLC. It will turn blue. SLC on Open. The Menu Box will alter slightly. Find the word File (in the centre of the box) position the mouse cursor at the front of the box and type in the name of your image. SLC on Save.
If you need to make a new folder then SLC on the New folder icon to the top right of the Menus (put the mouse cursor over an icon and it tells you what it is). Type in a name for your folder and press Enter. Then SLC on Open. Type in name for your image and SLC on Save.
h. Go back to b.
This time it will be set up to save your image in the folder you chose for the first one.
