承接上一篇教學文：《新手教學系列 - 你不可不知的一個重要指標：名聲 (Reputation) - 為什麼它重要? 應如何增加?》，感謝 @deanliu 兄提供意見，讓小弟更意識到圖片的重要性。經一輪研究，終於知道完美的縮圖比例和剪裁方法。我學了不藏私，把方法與大家分享。當然，我是新手，不敢說我的方法是最好。如果大家有比我更好的方法，請留言交流一下！

Magic of photo

Even though you have wrote a high quality of content, a good first picture is still essential to gain people's attention. A good thumbnail can make your post become more attractive!

However, many newbies (including me) have no idea to make it a good effect. So, this tutorial is going to let you able to make a good thumbnail perfectly, in an easy way.

圖片的魅力

一篇高質文章，還須配合一幅圖片給予人好的第一印象，才能增加被點擊觀看的機會。好的圖片，能令你的文章事半功倍啊！

但是，很多時候，新手們（包括我）都不知道圖片應如何去搞，才能令文章縮圖效果較為理想。所以，本篇是在教基本功，養成習慣才能令人看你的文章時更賞心悅目。所以，要殷勤學習一下嚕！

每篇文章的左側，都有一幅縮圖。這縮圖若運用得宜，將提升別人瀏覽的意慾。
There is a thumbnail on the left of every post. Good thumbnail would attract more people to read your post.

So, how to insert a thumbnail on Steemit? Easy! Your first picture inserted will become your thumbnail automatically! From the above picture, some of my thumbnails looks not good. Some of the bottom texts were hidden because of wrong resolution. So...how to correct it? Sadly, there is no way to correct it directly on Steemiit so far. So we need to do it on another website.

那麼，縮圖如何插入? 答案是：你在內文中第一幅插入的圖片，便會自動成為該文章的縮圖。上圖可見，我的新手教學的縮圖並不理想。下面有些字因比例不當，被摭了一半。那該如何改變? 遺撼的是，Steemit暫無友善方法供用戶直接修改圖片 (杯具)。故此，我們需要借助其他網站幫忙嚕!

Best ratio of thumbnail

After a period of studies, I found that the best resolution of a thumbnail should be 800x460. This ratio is perfect and would not let any part of your picture being cropped. So, memorize this size and always make your thumbnail looks perfect!

最佳比例

經一番研究，我得出最佳的縮圖比例為：800x460像素。這比例下的第一幅內文圖片，不會被縮圖裁去任何一部份。所以，大家可以記下這個數值，為自己的第一幅圖做個修改。

How to resize your picture

I think this is trouble for many people to resize their photos since there are no pre-installed software on Windows providing resize function. And many people don't want to install a software for this single function. So, let me introduce a good wedsite, which letting you resize your picture online without install any software: http://resizeimage.net . Easy name to remember? So let's follow the steps to resize photos:

Resize方法

一談到修改圖片比例，相信會令很多人頭痛。因為windows並無內置軟件讓大家可以簡單做resize這個動作。裝軟件嗎? 又有點費時失事。因此，我在此介紹一個好用的網站，它可以讓你輕鬆地修改圖片比例，又不用安裝任何軟件喔! 這個網站就是：http://resizeimage.net。名字很好記吧?哈哈!以下是修改步驟：

Step 1 步驟一：

Prepare your picture to be resized. As you see above, the picture size is 662x381, which is not the best ratio. So we need to resize it.
當然是預備好要修改的圖片喔！上圖可見，我預備上載的圖片比例為 662x381，並非最佳比例。所以要動工修改一下嚕！

Step 2 步驟二：

Go to http://resizeimage.net and upload your photo.
預備好後，我們就進入http://resizeimage.net，把圖片上載。

Step 3 步驟三：

You can type the ratio you wanted. Remember to untick "Keep aspect ratio ".
完成上載後，可以在這裏修改圖片比例。留意"Keep aspect ratio "不用打勾。

Step 4 步驟四：

Press "Resize image"，you will see an option "Download image". You can save the resized photo now.
按"Resize image"，就能按你的比例完成調整了。然後按"Download image"，把圖片儲存起來。

檢查一下，新圖片比例為800x460，成功！
The new resolution is 800x460. Done!

Last but not lease, you need to upload your new photo on Steemit. Easy? Certainly, it will be greatly appreciated if Steemit provide friendly function on photo processing!

最後，當然是把新圖上傳去Steemit了。不難吧? 當然，也希望Steemit未來能提供友善的resize功能，令我們能更輕鬆地處理圖片喔！
