I am new to the Photo Forum. Please advise if I need to change any parameters.
Editing welcome.
I am posting photos I took of Cuistot's
Mexican Lasagna #292513 here because I had a kitchen emergency and had to substitute applewood-smoked swiss cheese for the top shredded cheddar cheese (it was delicious anyway). I'll let Cuistot decide if she wants to use any of these. As an empty nester, I chose to split the recipe into 3 pans, one of which satisfied DH and me. I thought it might be helpful to others to see how the recipe translated to the different pan sizes. The recipe could have been split between the two 1-and-1/2-quart disposable casserole pans. (For my third pan, I used an 8-inch oven-ready skillet.)

and I hope we continue to see more photos from you. I really like your first photo with the black pan outlining the lasagne and the vivid blue background corners. very striking. It is also neat to see a plated version where you can see the lovely texture taken as a side view. Perhaps when you eat one of the others you can add a plated photo!!!!!

TO KATE!
Glad you're joining us. We are a fun and encouraging group; we love to drool over new photos. It's a obsession with us!
Your photos are leeeetle big for the Forum and will take dial-up Zaarites a long time to load...
I see that you use PhotoBucket, so when choosing the right link for message boards, always use the last window: IMG. Click on it--"copied" and paste that one...should auto re-size for Forums. If not, let us know and we will help.
If you would like editing for your photos by our posters, pls add
c/e welcome. Otherwise, only comments are appropriate.
Hope to see more of your photos, these look mighty tasty!!!

It looks as though I will need to resize, as my test re-post was also huge. What size is preferred?
I have now resized my source files on Photobucket, using the last standard size listed on that editing screen.
Thanks for your input.

---- to the Photo Forum!!!
Your close up of the mexican lasagna is great! The light shining on the melted cheese is wonderful

What a great idea to divide the recipe in three.
The size most of us use from Photobucket is the message board size - about 640 x 480 or so. Some use the next smaller one. Try both and see which you like.
You're off to a great start posting food photos and I hope we see many more of yours!
