Haven't posted a pic in quite awhile but think I understand how to, go to add image, browse and find pic, click on upload and such and know sometimes it may take awhile but I have been waiting for 10 minutes for one to upload.
Thinking that my photo may be too large- 2592 by 1944 and when I view it on full screen it's humongus. Maybe I have my cameras settings wrong?
I noticed on image shack there is a way to edit pictures. I may need to edit these before posting- if that's at all possible?
Any suggestions very much appreciated!

Hi Joanna,
Yes, the file you were trying to upload is huge, and will take a long time, unless you have a high speed connection. It's best to process images in your own computer before uploading them. With a good image processor, and a little practice, you can do just about anything you want.
The other option is to adjust your camera setting for smaller image files, if you don't have an image processor on your computer. The lowest setting is usually VGA, and it will still carry more definition than you need for internet viewing, but it's probably your best choice in this situation. As I recall, it's 640 by 480 pixels, and an image file that size will upload in a reasonable amount of time.
Love,
Tex

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

Thanks Tex,
I'll try editing them on the computer and see if that works and reset my camera settings for future pictures.
Appreciate it.

Hi Joanna,
Basically what you want to do is to set the definition to 72 dpi, (dots per inch), (since that's the maximum resolution of most monitors), and then set the image size to whatevert you want, (like 4x6, 5x7, 8x10 inches, ect.). That will reduce the size of the image file drastically.
Remember to always work with a copy of your image, though, not the original image file, because once you accept a change, it is permanent. Once you downgrade the image quality of a picture, you can never restore the quality that was removed. IOW, you can downsize an image and it will still look sharp, but if you try to upsize it, it will look "fuzzy".

Tex

Appreciate your suggestions Wayne.
I'm cornfused but will figure it out, haven't worked with pictures much. Alanna just downloaded a photo editor on my computer so I will play around with it.
I just got a new digital and never bothered to read the manual before using it. Most likely some setting is wrong.

Hi Joanna,
Most digital cameras will probably use maximum definition settings, by default. If you go through the "menu" options, you should be able to set it to whatever image size you want, just by the touch of a button or two.
