Resizing images is very simple with the tools provided by the Fish Slam Club. By clicking on the link button, you will be directed to a website provided by PIXLR. This simple editing tool will help you crop your Portrait format pictures to a Landscape format so that you can upload it to the Fish Slam Club Photo Gallery. We will walk you through the specific steps to accomplish this. Please remember this...When converting a Portrait to a Landscape you will loose a large portion of the photograph. Make sure that the portion of the picture that you want is inside the cropped area that you create. Unfortunately not all pictures can be converted as you may like. When you are in the field in the future and are taking pictures, be sure that you take some in the Landscape format for easy submission to the Photo Gallery!
