How do you post pictures?:shrug:

[Mick in Dubbo]

I don't have any software on my computer that can downsize a picture to fit on the forum, so I've been trying to use Photobucket. I have managed to downsize them I think, but when I have uploaded from Photobucket, I don't know where the picture has gone. I can find the Original photo, but not the downsized one. Any help would be much appreciated.

How big are your pics. Have you tried to post them straight out without down sizing or such?

Yes bill. They are too big. They are 1600x1200. It would be really simple if I could download them directly, but alas, I can't. I'm trying to use the Photobucket website to resize them so that I can post. I think that I resized them alright, but when I uploaded them from that site, I don't know where they went.I assume that they must be on my hard drive somewhere, but I am unable to find them.Any advice would be welcome, even a different approach if you've got one.

try using a lesser resolution on your camera. I used to have problems too. Set my camera to 600x800 and I don't need to down size. When saving pictures to upload to the web - save them to your desktop so you can find them easily.

Thanks heaps awhister. I have just downloaded that program. Hopefully I can now post pictures.
Thank you also khouse for the tips. I borrowed my sons camera to take the pics (as I don't own a digital myself yet) and didn't know you can change the resolution.

Do you have a scanner?

Bill

 

[Mick in Dubbo]

Yes.

 

[Uncle Willy]

Use your scanner for regular pics. I've got a digital camera I haven't even used yet nor loaded the software for posting pics.

Scanners are great for flat stuff. Anything else that is not touching the glass will be blurry.

[attachment 40654 coins2.jpg]This is a picture of my finds from the hunt in Newcastle a few weeks back. Sorry if it is a bit hard to make out clearly.
Surrounding the picture is all my tools of trade, minus the bum bag that I use as a finds bag and spare batteries.

Looks like some nice finds. Glad you got the pitchure posted.

 

[Mick in Dubbo]

Thanks khouse. I'll see if this is a bit sharper.

I don't seem to be able to sharpen the picture.The actual photo is a lot sharper. This image is using 75.2 Kb and the next size is to big. I used HP photo imaging. If anybody could offer advice, it would be helpful.

what resolution setting is your camera on? Try 640 x 480 without any cropping or resizing. My pictures have been uploading at about 114 to 116 just under the 120kb maximum. Here is a picture of a non croped picture and it's pretty clear.

 

[Mick in Dubbo]

That is a very clear picture. I don't know what size I used, As I only just found out through this thread of posts that you can alter the size on the camera. I looked through my son's instruction manual last night and found that the smallest I can reduce a photo, is 130kb.
So unfortunately, it is too big.
At least now that I'm aware of it, perhaps if I increase the camera to it's highest resolution, this might help.

What is the make and model of your camera? I don't think that the highest resolution is going to help. There is also a digital imaging forum on this site where you might get some more help.

 

[Mick in Dubbo]

The camera is a Finepix A120 (fuji). Thanks for the tip on the imaging forum I didn't know it is there.
Mick Evans.

 

[khouse]

I have a fuji but i don't think it's the same but lets try this. Is there a button on the back with a "F" on it? If so turn the camera on and push it. It will take you to the resolution screen. There you need to highlight 640x480 and save it.
