Change picture size in coding please...

[mywaytoo]

I wish that I could change the size of pictrues (small, medium, large???) that I have posted by using the coding... like I can with position (centre, left, right) and alt text (text).

If you specify both width and height at the same time, proportion is not guaranteed.

Thank you...

Just to clarify...

Are those values are sizes in pixels?
Can %age values be used?
Specifying only one of the values (width or height) guarantees the image will retain its aspect ratio?

I note your examples both show downsizing. Presumably, to maintain the best image quality you should avoid upsizing, (so, for example, if you have uploaded an image with a 250px width (or set the width to that size on the upload dialogue), it would NOT be a good idea to set the resultant width code to 400?

I hadn't thought about sizing measurements... I had initially imagined words, eg. small, medium, large (or whatever) to tie in with the other things.

Hmmm... with hindsight I think that words would be best and the coding displayed along with the others too.

Just give it a try. Write a post and click "preview message". ;-)

In fact I was not reducing, I got the image from the "May 16, 2011; 7:45am — by <apple_image> mywaytoo" that shows up when we reply a message. ;-)
It was small and I tried to enlarge.

Yes, quality drops more a when we enlarge and drops less when we reduce.
