Title: Hello from Swansea South Wales
Post by: jerbear48 on November 05, 2012, 04:01:30 PM

Hi my name is Jeremy, I have owned my 1976 CB750 SuperSport for 16 years, I joined this forum as I have decided to restore her. So if I run into any problems I am sure some one here will have the knowledge to help me out  :P

I have tried adding some photos but they are over the allowed 300KB and I don`t know how to make them smaller  :-[

I use GIMP http://www.gimp.org/

Works on Windows/Linux (don't know about Mac). Very easy to use.

If not cropping the image then (depending on your camera's original image size) may be scaling to 30% of the original will be about right. If you've cropped it then it can be bigger - the scale function has a preview which approximates the file size of the result.
