I use Capature One 12 to edit and resize the photos to a third of their original file size(24MB to 8MB). Then upload to steemit. Then I add a [ in front of the image text and a ] at the of image text. Copy the image text in between the () including the () and copy and paste after the ]. Then I add the italic text click to enlarge image. So it looks like this ![image.jpeg] (imagetext)italic click to enlarge image. Hope this helps, and thanks for the resteem and vote!
