picture posting from computer

Bob, I see that you also posted the pictures on your fire thread - that ties it all together.

Since the subject of this thread is how to post a picture, I am curious about how you got the job done.  I checked and the pictures are not linked to Photobucket.  They are uploaded to this site which means that you were able to resize them.  Let us know what you used for the resize process so that we can all benefit.

A couple of the posters suggested taking the picture with the camera set to a low resolution.  We do that when we know that we will NEVER need the photo for "searching' detail.  We use the small resolution for things like ebay photos where detail is not all that important.

However, I always take as high of a resolution photo as I can and then reduce the resolution via software.  It only takes a couple of key strokes for the resize process.  I then have both a high and low resolution of the photo.  I often go back to the high resolution photo and zoom in to get some detail that I had not recalled.

A perfect example is the work I do for Pat's genealogy work.  We often run across really old family photos.  When we do, I take a high resolution photo of the old photo.  We have an old photo of a family portrait (about five family members).  With the high resolution photo, I can zoom in to get facial details.  Also with the high resolution, I can make a copy and then crop that photo to get an individual head shots of each family member.

Just much easier to leave your camera on high resolution and deal with uploading/emailing by using a simple photo resizing computer program.

wish I could tell you : All I did was use windows live thru explorer instead of firefox and it worked. Must do it automatic for dummies like me. I need that.    Bob
