I knew the Calvin and Hobbs may come out small. I wish I knew how to make them bigger when I post them. I use my IPad to post from my photo library with the manage attachments feature and I just can't figure out how to make them bigger

Chuck, it seems to me that often when you do a screen grab with your iPad, you do not then crop the image so that all that remains is the cartoon itself. This, cropping, is easy to do on an iPad, either by simply moving the borders of the image with your finger right after doing the screen grab, or by using the cropping function within the editing function once the image has been put into your Photos collection. If you crop so that the image is reduced to the cartoon alone, it will show up easier to see and read once you post it. (Although that would not work with the C&H cartoon, it would work for most of your stuff.)

My two cents worth.

I guess with inflation, that should be at least a quarter now (But let's not get into "The $64,000 Question.")

I'll give it a shot, thanks

Also, enlarge the original image on-screen to eliminate extraneous detail before taking the screen shot, so you're starting with the biggest practical image.

You have to be a bit careful, though, that you're not enlarging it to the point of being fuzzy. But many images are in fact larger than the display image you see on-screen, so "pre-cropping" by enlarging to eliminate unwanted detail may only bring it up to the original size.

I often find this when saving a web image with my laptop ("Save image as...") and when I open it I may find the original is WAY bigger than I need. You see this as well when doing an online image search and open a page full of online images from various sources. They usually give the dimensions in pixels. Here's a partial example of a Far Side image search:

The third image is 753 x 894 = 10.45" x 12.41" (assuming the usual 72 dpi/inch). The fourth one is 2448 x 3264 = 34" x 45.3" ! And that's where ReSIZER comes in
