Collecting Ideal Sliders
« on: January 12, 2013, 08:06:02 pm »
Just picked up a de-embossed HIRES 55 slider. Does anyone know if they were all like this or embossed as well? Also looking for the right paint colors for the logo. Got my first slider 6 months ago. I now have seven. Not supposed to be collecting. Supposed to be restoring and selling, but they're starting to pile up. Addicting!

I've tried to post pictures, but I think I'm giving up. Can't get the files on my MAC  shrunk any smaller than 276 KB. Anyone have any tips?Huh?Huh??? Love this forum, but the picture thing is frustrating the hell out of me.

I'm at Barrett-Jackson all week and there are tons of cool machines there. I'll get some pictures. Love to post them if anyone can help make that happen.

If you open the image in Preview, you can use Tools > Adjust Size.  Change the pixels to 72 (web standard) and adjust the size percentage to make it work (25% or so).  It will show you the new size before you change it so you can play around with it a little.

If you have Photoshop, I can give you instructions on how to really do it right

You could try to email it to yourself and then downsize it. I take all my pics with an Iphone then email them to myself and have the option of what size I want the photo to be.
