Posts: 965 How to make my photos internet friendly-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

High resolution digital cameras are commonplace today. They produce great quality photos with ease. These are great for looking at when on your own computer, but they are not so great for the web. Why? Simply put, size. A digital camera will give you photos that are HUGE by internet standards. Huge photos take a long time to download for viewing. Some cameras can give you photos that are 1 meg or more in size. A pic of this size can take up to 30 seconds for a dialup user to fully download to his computer to see. Doesnt sound like a long time, try staring at your computer for 30 seconds while doing nothing.

Accordingly our system here has limitations on size of photos you can upload.

Ok, so what to do with your pics. Everyone should have an image resizer. I recommend a microsoft product called PowerToys Image Resizer. It's free and can be obtained here: Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP Download and install the Image Resizer.

Image Resizer Directions
This PowerToy enables you to resize one or many image files. When resizing you can choose from one of four standard sizes or choose a size that you specify. You can also choose to resize the original image or create a new one. Right click any image(s) and select 'Resize Pictures' in the context menu.

Using this program can reduct a 1meg photo to 50Kb or about 5% of original size without losing any discernable quality.

There are many programs out there that can do what this one does, but this one is free and simple to use.

Admin............................................................. I tried this info in Joeys thread and it worked for me. I could not figure out how to send his listed link though. {newbie also} but you should be able to find this thread.:read2:
 
Welcome 540demon, I happened across this website about 3 years ago. At the time I was looking for a console too. I actually found an A-body 4 spd. console here for $75.00! That was then, this now but there are still deals to be had. You can find a lot of great parts here and the people are among the best. Keep at the computer and it`ll become second nature before you know it.
 
Glad to have you with us! This computer stuff kinda grows on ya...most of it's trial & error. You found a great bunch.....I can honestly say without these guys and this forum, my project would be languishing away under a tarp....still!
Here's a link....
