I have just spent the best part of two hours at least trying to resize a photo of my Bentley Arnage R as I wanted to upload it to the Bentley Drivers Club members site but it keeps saying the photo is too large and in an effort to make it less than 2.5 thingamebobs I have continued to crop the photo until I came to the conclusion that I would have to remove the car from the photo altogether if I wanted to make it fit.
I have to say I have uploaded photos to the BDC site before and never had this problem and have given up and decided to use the original photo I took of the car which I thought looked quite nicely framed and just post it here, at least this way the last two or so hours of my life will not go down as completely wasted!
I am a retired actor, although to be honest I only retired because I wasn't getting any work due to losing my agent when I became a full time carer to my mother who had dementia. and the option of becoming an unemployed actor/waiter at my age was ludicrous, especially as my waiting skills are non-existent.
Having said I’m retired, I don’t think there really is such a thing as a retired actor for I am still available for work, I just don’t have an agent or any connections with regards to obtaining any worthwhile work.
I have over the years done student films when there is nothing else available, always low paid (if at all) the only incentive was always the promised copy of the finished film for your show reel which nine times out of ten always failed to materialise.
I spent many years looking after my aged mother and shortly after her death I was lucky enough to run into an ex-girlfriend of many years ago and our romance blossomed once again, resulting in us getting married in 2013.
My move to the countryside inspired me to write The Diary of a Country Bumpkin which tells of my continuing dilemmas in dealing with the rigors of the countryside from the unexpectedly large number of pollens, fungal moulds and hay products waiting to attack the unsuspecting townie.
I enjoy writing, see my play Dulce Et Decorum Est Pro Patria Mori on The Wireless Theatre Company, The Plays Wot I Wrote and The Battle of Barking Creek both available on Amazon.co.uk and am very fond of classic cars so my ideal occupation would be acting in a film I had written set in the 1930s/40s, we live in hopes.
I am delighted to say that since venturing to the countryside where space is not quite the premium it is in town, I have due to the availability of two double garages acquired more classic cars to form a small collection the pride of which are a 1947 Bentley Mk VI and a 2000 Bentley Arnage.
My various blogs and websites are continually evolving and I’m sure that by following the appropriate links you will find something which will edify or amuse.
I have written a number of different books all available on Amazon, so don't be shy should you feel the urge to purchase. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mr-Joe-Wells/e/B06XKWFQHT/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1
I’m still on old windows 10 I think and the thing that used to crop pictures has seemed to have dissappeared. I need a new computer but I’d rather spend my money on another fabulous forties weekend!
Nothing wrong with Windows 10 except that Microsoft no longer supports it. Adobe Express has a free online image resizer. Looks like it is drag and drop. Maybe take a look.
I looked at Adobe Express but the free one is only for a certain amount of time and then you have to cancel if you don’t want it. I know my computer had a crop facility when you opened photographs but it seems not to be there any more. What I really need is a 13 year old child to coma along, they’d have it done in a couple of minutes!
Sorry my finger slipped before I was done. I usually reduce the size of photos I upload . You can also do it with your phone if you use that. Mine is a Samsung but I am sure other brands have similar features. Cropping doesn’t always reduce the number of pixels enough. There are also image resizers you can use free online.
Does your photo editor allow you to change the size of the photo? I U

Yep, when in doubt ask a teenager.
