  I cannot seem to re-size any of the images I upload. I could do it two days ago – now when i click on the image, the ‘edit’ or ‘delete’ icons don’t appear. How do I get back to re-sizing my images?
  Thanks

  Images you re-size after uploading into your WordPress.com blog lose some color and sharpness. I never use the WordPress.com cropper for images. I do all my image editing first and then upload the images to my blog.

  Hi All,

  I’m having the same problem as Splanet.

  Using the Oxygen theme, I need one image in “original size”, i.e. the size it was uploaded in, as opposed to the resize automatically done by the upload tool. Reverting to original size can only be done, I believe, via Image Options, which are no longer accessible for the moment.

  Once automatically resized, the image is too small to be recognized by the slider. Therefore, the article bearing that image will not appear as a Sticky.

  Coffeemanmat or others, any updates on solving that issue, please ? Or tips to get the same results via a different route ?

  Many thanks.

  Hi!
  Solved the problem. I’ve re-sized them in a roundabout way. First upload without adding a caption-(all my images have captions) then click on the image and the edit icon appears – re-size and add caption. I used to be able to just add the caption and then re-size, but this doesn’t seem to happen anymore.
