So I’ll try this again
So I was wanted to creat a one piece dash incorporating the dash pod into the dash as fibreglass rather than the stock leather as I want to upholsterer the dash in Alcantera . So this requires making a mold of the dash pod but first having a transition I needed a lip on the dash to the pod.
The first pics I used packing tap to protect the dash from the process. Glassing a 3” strip over the fairing I made using plaser scene as it isn’t affected by the resize.

Once the glass was set up I trimmed down to a 1" lip
I wanted to get the pod completely fitted before I finished the rest of the dash. I can then carve and shape the foam to the look that works with the rest of the centre consule and I'll fibreglass the rest of the dash and mold it.


When I was preparing the dash pod I needed some blanks to block off the openings using hot glue to keep in place. Once they were secure I used fairing wax to build up a filet for the fibreglass to transition.




there are a bunch more pics but the files are too big, I need to reduce the resolution of the pics.
But I finally figured out how to get the pics in. Thanks Bob!!!

No problem. I wish I could do more. The way I resize images is a PITA, so I won't suggest it unless it's a last resort. Someday I may look into something easier.

I always open the pics in Microsoft Paint and use the resize function. It's really quick and easy... but you do have to do it to each pic one at a time. Unfortunately there isn't a batch edit function.

PIP requirements/restrictions are... Maximum width - 1024 pixels. Maximum file size - 300 kb.

I use IrfanView for image resizing, It's free. It's great. One feature of IrfanView that I really like is that you can set the maximum file size of the JPG image before you save it. The program itself then works out the compression required, and implements it. Takes all the guesswork out, makes the process so easy.

And if that's not enough... it does batch editing/resizing. Do a whole folder of images with one click.

Am I the only one who changes the resolution of the photos in the camera settings so the pictures are the proper size and don't need resizing... just upload and go.

I have used this tool:
http://www.rw-designer.com/picture-resize

Dirt simple!

I don't snap my pics at low resolution; I want my personal archives to be high quality.

What ends up on the site here are low-quality exports.

I’m already at my lowest resolution, my Huawei P20 pro lowest is 7MP 2736x2736. But thanks to everyone that has helped I’ll look at Patrick’s recommendation. I my have to use my old phone much lower res.
