photo problem

Wolviex:

That's a neat thing you did with the screen shots. You also managed to do something I have not been able to achieve on this forum, and that is to intersperse text and graphics. How did you do that?

Ian, those are screen captures (not sure exactly how that's done, however) that Wolviex hosted on Photobucket.

You'll need to host and link your photos if you want to insert text, as the forum software will attach photos to the bottom of a post by default.

I just figured that out. Sometimes I'm a little slower than others!!!

One way to do a screen capture is to press "print screen," then go to the Windows Paint accessory and do a paste. Voila! There may be other ways, and you may be able to paste into other programs, but I've never tried it.

Great tutorial, Wolviex!

Actually 800x600 is wrong because we use [width]x[height]. True is maximum 640 (width) x 1280 (height).

Dimensions are not the only matter. We use different resolution for printed material and screen. Here we are interest about screen resolution so we use 72 dpi or 96 dpi. (DPI or LPI is dots per inch or pixels per inch).

A normal scanner or digital camera takes the picture in more than 150 DPI so we have to reduce this also to have a size under 200mb for uploading. In InfanView and other image editors dimensions and resolution are in the same window, so when you resize check DPI or LPI to be 96.

Finally there is another way to change image size. Use “save as”  “.jpg” and in final window lower the quality to 80%. Of course lower quality is the last option if you want a clear picture.

To see if a picture is under 200mb we right click on the icon of it and we choose “properties”.

VERY well done tutorial, Wolviex.
drzzzzz, if you still have problems, just e-mail the photos to me or one of the other members that you may know and I'm sure it can be popped in in a jiffy.
There was a time when I did it on a regular basis, to the point that I was worried about Rick and Ed taking out a contract on me! **grin**
They, of course, were always proper gentlemen, but still felt like a real pain in the posterior.

Can someone explain the clarity of some of the pics on this forum. They seem to have more resolution than would be allowed. Is there a rule of thumb as to the MP of the digital camera, for instance, would a 6MP be to large & need to be reduced?
