I’m trying to improve my social media skills and have been working on incorporating more photos and images in my posts. However, I want them to show up well and not have to be clicked on to see the entire image. So, I was looking into how to resize the images the best way without just cropping the image, and here’s what I’ve found. I’ll walk you through step by step. http://sproutsocial.com/landscape
