Poker Hands From the MAC

[ennotserp]

I recently purchased a MACBOOK laptop and am wondering if anyone can explain the best method of converting a particular hand from the Fulltilt hand history to a decent readable format and include it in a post for hand analysis. Any help would be appreciated.

So you know how to do it on a PC, but don't know how to do it with a MAC?

OK - what am I missing?
I took a screenshot of the hand I want analyzed from the hand history. It was in TIFF format so I converted it to JPEG format and saved it in my documents. Everything looks OK, but how do I get it into my post? I tried to attach it and it shows up as an attachment but shouldn't it be displayed in the posting area?

Go to imageshack.us and upload the screen shot using the browse button, right click to highlight "hotlink to forums" then ctrl c, goto where you want to post it and press ctrl v

hi

please make sure that its an attachement if its big

I know its a bit OCD but it drives me nuts when members post images bigger than the thread width - it makes things look sh*t and breaks up the formating

for somereason image shack images dont seem to like being put in correctly as attachements when I try to fix this when posters put in huge images

please make sure its either an attached image (showing a thumbnail) OR narrow enough not to mess things up - saves me a job

Agreed Bob, select resize image to 640x480 for messageboards BEFORE uploading.

OK so I never use Paint, but I took an image and tried to resize it to 640x480. What it did was instead of shrinking the picture proportionately (unzooming it, so to speak) it just cut off a big chunk of the picture. So how do I reduce a jpg to 640x480 using Paint, please?

hi

I think with paint its a case of reducing cropped screenshot or whatever it is by a %

so a guess - its not like photoshop unfortunately - at least Ive not been able to find a pixel / size crop on paint

so just have a guess looking at it fullsize

don't resize it in paint...the easiest way to do it is let imageshack resize it for you

Actually I worked out how to do it - go down to the bottom right corner, click on the arrow, pull it in and shrink it down that way.
