Hi All,

Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm a 9 year owner of a 1989 Silver Anniversary Carrera 3.2, suspension mods, track headers... you know, the whole upgrade/tinkering bug.

Have been on Pelican for a while and wanted to expand my exposure to Porsche forums.

By the way, does anyone know how to downsize pics? My lowest resolution is 500KB per pic. I really want to use my car as the avatar.

Thanks and I look forward to all your help!

here is what I do for pictures....I'm sure it is all wrong. I stand way back, set my resolution on my 6.1 megapix down to .8 and shoot a wide shot. then put it on the dock and crop the crap out of it in kodak. I think 137k is all you are allowed. about the size of your thumb. nice choice of cars. I got the books after I decided what car I was looking for and so far I was correct....I have a stock '88 cabrio carrera. welcome home. pelican who?

I would love to see a pic of your car. The 89 Silver Anniversary edition is a great car. You can email the photo to me and I can covert to an avatar for you. Thats my car in the avatar.

If your computer can retrieve photos from a digital camera it must have some
type of digital photo software in it. Image size reduction is usually included in
these programs and is easy to use. Check it out!

I download 'irfanview' at their web site. It's free and I use the resize/resample to downsize mine.

Hope this helps.

Welcome and +1 for irfanview. 1. Associate jpg with irfanview. 2. double click on photo which will open irfanview. 3. hit Crtl+R which will bring up your resize window. 4. choose someting like 800x600. 5. Save As and choose compression of around 70% on the slider. This should give you a good quality pic of around 100-120k. Hope this helps.
