Add a Hand and/or a Bottom Scroll Bar

[Phelon Profile]

It would be most useful to add either or both a "hand" and/or a bottom scroll bar to help view the pictures submitted in "Show Us What You Do".

I don't think there's any quick way of doing that, although when you first load the page (before clicking on a picture to enlarge), there is a horizontal scrollbar. This forum was really intended for screen size pictures. Our intention in the longer term is to have a proper system for sharing photos, the forum is just a stopgap.

Hi Tony,

It's now 4am here, and I came to work on a few things and noticed a scroll bar on the bottom, which I was thinking was new, and, Wow, what a difference using the scroll bar. When the user increases the size of image, and then uses the scroll bar, it makes a very happy (pleasing) result to be able to move across the picture and see it enlarged, and see all the little enhancements, etc.

So, I guess I missed seeing it before, but it works great for me now. I didn't try to see if the scroll bar stays with the picture after enlarging. That's lots of fun for me.

On the side, or BTW, I discovered that using the "Save for Web", under "File" in PS CS6, I can keep my uploaded pictures to "Show Us Your Results" under 2MB and control several things that I wasn't able to do in my other resize methods--even separate Resize applications. It's use should be a "Tip" for all users; I don't know PS Elements.

Thanks again, Tony!

Have an idea, Tony. Make the mouse cursor change to a "Hand" when left clicking and holding. Releasing the left button, cursor goes back to arrow-head. That way you can drag the picture from whatever place you might be on the picture. The present scroll-bar at bottom helps to get the job done, but the hand will be a better tool to always be working when perhaps the bar disappears.

Hi Phelon,

Re: Save For Web in Photoshop. Is the main thing we are missing a preview of how large your file might be, when adjusting options in the Export Settings?
