How to post and resize photos on the courses

  • Toby Haseler

Posting photos of your work is heavily encouraged as a vital part of all the courses. Here is a guide to how to do it.

When posting multiple photos, please try to post them all within the same comment to keep the comments/feedback section streamlined for everyone.

IF you are getting an 'error' stating your photo is too big follow the advice in this post: https://www.sketchloose.co.uk/blog/reducing-an-image-file-size-on-iphone-or-android

How to post

  • At the bottom of every lesson you will see a box with 'comment' written inside it. You need to scroll to the very bottom of the page to find it:

  • Notice there is also a reply box. Do not use this unless you specifically want to reply to (and send an email notification to) the person who has left the previous comment.

  • Inside the comment box you can type your question, feedback, or responses to the lesson.

  • You can add your photo through one of three methods:

  • Option one: Click the insert image icon in the bottom left of the box (this may not appear on all devices)

  • Option two: Type a single forward slash in the box, this will bring up a menu as below where you can choose to upload a photo.

  • Option three: On a laptop/desktop you can simple drag and drop an image from your files into the box to upload it. Or use the copy + paste function of your device.

  • To post a further photo in the same box, just repeat these steps again

  • When you are finished, click the arrow in the bottom right corner:

How to resize your photos

  • When you have uploaded your photo, if you click on it (either with your finger on a phone, or your mouse on another device, you will get a simple menu:

  • Notice the three squares above the image, that is your menu. In the screenshot above, the middle square is selected. That is the automated option.

  • Ideally, please when you upload change this and select the bigger square. I have done that below and notice how the image resizes. This makes feedback much easier.

  • When you have finished click the arrow in the bottom right corner to post:
