Posting photos

[gabeck]

Thought I had read a while back something about posting pics from a Macbook Pro ( sometimes stuff just takes so long for non-techies ) ...... can't find it . We can't seem to post any photos here and would love to share ...... so far everything is rejected as file too big and am wondering if the thing is trying to pick up the whole album ..... our sizes usually work for everything.......... any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated .

You need to reduce the image size to 600 pixels on the longest direction ( wide or tall ).
Look for Image Size in the photo processing program you are using, or look for Save For Web ( or something similar ).
And, you can only file two at a time with a minute or so between posts ( that's to stop spam ).

When you change size, "save as" with a different name so you retain your original pic.

Thanks for your help ( and it did help ) , kind of hoped there might be a resizing thingee on the forum ..... being a couple of non- techie old croaks we always wish for a little window to pop up and say "click here " and then pc everything . Iphoto doesn't actually have a resize option - it's just album storage so I had to go choose pics and place on desk top then resize and make a posting album - which I will now try to post -2 at a time ..... again thanks

Gabi, if you host your photos on a photo hosting web site then this might help you....(click on this link).... http://escapeforum.org/index.php?top...18531#msg18531

I'm technology challenged also. But with the help of others, I've kind of stumbled around and learned a few things along the way. I hope this is of some help.

Thanks ... I noticed that , need to check into that .... it is nice to ( and handy ) post a series of pics rather than by 2's ......

I use shrinkpictures.com -- it's easy. Set for 600 pixels. Once done, I right click on the image, "save as" to desktop, then attach to the post, then recycle.

Ive got my pic reduced and on my desk top but can't see how to attach to my post

if it is reduced and on your desktop then you click on additional options and there will be a button for attachments, click it and it will take you to your desktop where you click the photo and "upload" button.
