You have control!

LM, I don't know how big it looks to you, but my attempts to make the image smaller didn't work for me (I tried resizing the original and dragging the the image in the post and neither worked). Are you seeing it big or small?

I'm seeing it tiny. I took it into Photoshop and blew it up, only to get lots of broken dotted lines!

Good afternoon all

Mechta, your 3-view looks huge to me (fills the screen!). Shows as 1016 x 1024. In the upload options you should have the ability to limit the size (I have mine set at 640 max).

Hi Martin...a French machine maybe?

Not at all mate.

The challenge has an unusually high canopy. Was it designed as an Ag machine?

Hi Ligtning Mate & Skytrain10. Thanks for the feedback. I'm still seeing the image filling the page despite attempts to reduce it.

Skytrain10, Where do I find the tool which allows me to limit the size to 640pixels please?

No David, something(s) quite different!

Oh, and yes, it was high!

Mechta,

Now your last challenge has appeared re-incarnated as huge.

I size all mine on my computer before uploading to Photobucket.

Like RR I've not been around...2 weeks holiday in France. Now just trying to get back into the swing of things. Nice to be missed though.

Thanks Sinco....and incidentally I suspect you are correct with the BHT-1!

I'll drink to that.

Choice of two TC. Which one mate?

In Photobucket, if you click on "more options" just underneath the green "Upload Images and Videos" box, you'll see a selection of sizes that you can set. It won't increase the size of your image but it will reduce large images to the specified sizes.

Incidentally your 3-view has now shrunk to a very small image!
