Centrepin Reels

[tincatinca]

I appologise if this is not to everyones interest however this is mainly to see if I can upload a picture. My camera cannot get down to the size required so I have been playing about with Photoplus which I have just downloaded . If it works and for those who may be interested, the reels from left to right are

 

4" Richard Carter aerial gem

4.5" Adcock Stanton

4.5" Bob James

4.5" Okuma Sheffield

3.75" copy of a 1920 Aerial

Ray Walton rolling pin mk1 with spare spool

4.5" Trotting Special

Well that seems to work. Now to see if I can sort out how to do an avatar

[Peter Waller]

Its fun playing and learning! One way of going small is to crop a big picture rather than resize for an avatar.

Mind you, me being a computer Luddite has probably got it all wrong!

 

Damn! Still too big! A tad of minor resizing needed!!

Well, I suspect that you get the idea!

Thanks for that. I will try cropping instead of trying to downsize through reducing the number of pixels. Ive had some strange results but as you say it is fun playing. I now make sure that I am playing with a copy and not the original

[tincatinca]
