Re: posting photos on this forum

Mike:

One easy way is to put it on a sever that supplies you with your web site. You then put the address (called the "URL") of the photo into the "link" place on the "post response" page. If you have no access to such a server, send it to me by e-mail and I will put it on a server and then let you know where it is. Attach it to a message to tman@chartermi.net (or write me there if this is not clear). /td

Re: posting photos of 1960 wheel

Your instructions are very good.

I made a web site for one photo of my rusty 1960 Corvette wheel, to reply to the discussion of C1 wheels below. It's http://www.midvette.homestead.com

For some reason, I cannot get this address (URL) to work in the image insert line. Perhaps the photo link has to be a .jpeg or something...

My first try at pictures

Thess pics are converted from VHS so not to good.
It looks like I can get the link to the host site but no luck with just pics only

One other hint....

Just cropping and resizing your original digital photograph doesn't exactly control pixel content.... Some of today's high end digital cameras have ENORMOUS imaging systems and even a 5x7 photo can have significant pixel content.

The greater the resolution (pixel content), the longer it will take to upload as well as download. For those with dial-up modem web access, this can be a real PITA because most computer screens only run an 800x600 or 1024x768 pixel format. So, any higher resolution in your digital photo is totally wasted on those simply wanting to display it on their screens and get a gander.

If you have a high end digital processing application, like Photoshop, once you're done cropping and adjusting your picture, you can 'squeeze out' extraneous resolution to suit the application. Are you sending e-mail? Are you wanting to print a good looking photo? The end game dictates how much resolution you should target when you save the edited file....

In general, internet services intended for computer screen viewing (e.g. eBay) encourage us to squeeze the file size to something like 50-60 Kbytes instead of the overkill resolution inherent to today's high resolution digital cameras. So, there's an issue of 'netique' when you get into the game of tossing JPEG files around on the internet--size them appropropriate to your intended use!

Re: One other hint....

Thanks Jack - A friend recently sent me one pictured email that just about shut down my entire server provider mail box capacity for me. I believe it was mostly because of the picture resolution.

Mike,

If you keep it up you are going to earn your very own pocket protector.

Why would my pictures display at home and not at work. What am I missing
at work?

Re: works at home, not work

Larry,

The website where you picture is published might be blocked by a firewall at your work... ;-(

greetings,
