Resizing images?

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I couldn't find the answer through searching or in the guides. When I post an image in a trade, even if I manually resize the picture in a program, the image still gets blown up to fill the trade page. Is there a way to set the image size?

Don't think its possible on this site and implementing it is not trivial.
I (Linux as OS) use GIMP for such things and crop/resize images locally. Free, open source and cross-platform image processing tool.

on a mac crop/resize wit built in app "preview"

Do you swap between windows/linux when running D2R?

I just paste my screenshot on paint and crop the part that i'm interested. Don't know if this helps.

OP :

For all of my posts (general discussion / Trades ) i use the snipping tool on windows.

This includes the photo below:

Just drag over enough of the area you want the post to sit in , 3 second delay, Ctrl - V and DONE!

Yes, Preview is quiet mighty, fast and intuitive, this tool actually kept me on using Mac in the past for some time

Using Manjaro/Arch for everything...
Havn't used Windows in 20 years and last time Mac was 10 years ago I play thru (sandboxed) Lutris/wine. Requires some manual fixing from time to time, tho, but nothing impossible with a bit of research and understanding.
Win 11 in a virtual box is another solution some ppl do, but never tried it myself as it would take me a lot of time to configure my firewall and set up the box to prevent windows from sending all the telemetry and ad-profiling crap to the net.

On windows, I use
Snipping Tool

Interesting and yeah I get that fw config sounds annoying...

That's what I do too @fredkid

No, you guys misunderstand. The image was already cropped in clip studio. The website is blowing the image up. I want to know if i can manually set size parameters in the post (like i can with text size, colors, etc).

Don't think you can (or more accurately you probably can I just never bothered to figured out how as it shouldn't be needed) but re-sizing before you copy/paste should keep it as it was here. The site doesn't "undo" that.

E.g.: (base image at 100x100)
(same image scaled to 200x200)
(and scaled down to 50x50)

Are you actually re-sizing or just cropping and then keeping the cut-out at what would likely inherently still be a rather high res -> high # of pixels?

When in doubt, paste everything into a simple graphics tool (e.g. paint), resize to a specified actual size in pixels there, select all, copy, and then paste directly into the post here.
(e.g. the above was simply created at 100x100 in ms paint and then resized to 200x200 and 50x50 respectively before directly copy/pasting from there to here)

Okay, nevermind it was my mistake. I thought I had made the image smaller than I did. This is what happens when you don't sleep and try to do things early in the morning.

Well, thanks for the replies anyways. I didn't expect this much activity! ^_^ b
