Okay, I give up.
« on: July 17, 2007, 01:22:20 PM »
Please tell me how to post pictures.  I know the information is probably posted someplace obvious, but I have missed it.  Thought it might be in the library, but didn't find it.  Thanks in advance.

When you get ready to submit your new message, check the little box on the bottom that reads "Attach file after posting". Once you hit Submit, it'll take you to a screen where you "Browse" for the file. Look for it, select it, submit and Voila!!! There's your pic!

The picture wouldn't work.  I got a message that the picture had to be 75kb or less.  I checked it and it was 385 kb.  How do I change it to 75?  I have Adobe Photoshop, but I'm just a duffer.

Thanks

Tex, what kind of camera program do you have on your computer?  Should have a tab for export when you bring up files of pics. Need more info at this point.

Well I was gonna look for a free image editor and put it in the Library so anyone could download it that does not have one. I normally post big pictures but the file size is generall under 50kb. I only use Photo Shop by Adobe. Been using it now for over 10 years, but it does alot more than crop and compress pictures.. Thanks J for posting the link for the editor. If everyone agrees that it is easy to use then I will put it in the Library..

Just let me know..:)

Not sure I understand what you are asking.  

I download pictures from my camera using the Windows XP software (Camera is a Fugifilm 3800 - 6x optical zoom - about 4 years old?).  I usually limit taking the photos at I megapixel for forwarding on computer and the size is fine for that, but when I checked the picture I downloaded via "properties" it came up 343 kb.  I suspect that is because I downloaded it as a. jpg file.  

I have "Adobe Photoshop" on my "puter", but my capabilities are pretty limited.  I know a picture can be resized, but that makes it much smaller in physical size and it sometimes requires several iterations (for me, anyway). I was hoping for a straight forward way of doing it.  I can also post via Photobucket, but that takes some "fiddeling" as well and the pictures only show up when "clicked" on (I think).

I will try to attached a Photoshop resized picture to see how it show up on the forum.

Thanks for any help - I need it!!

Regards

Hummm.  "Properties" said it was 56 kb but it still didn't make the trip.  Now I'm really puzled.

When a p4 ee3.2ghz with 2gb of ram bogs down you know a standard pc is just gonna do the blue crash dance. Digital Photo Librarian will even run onmy old p2 400mhz with 256mb of ram and has a prettyeasy, fastuser interface also.
