Uploading Photos

[David of Essex]

Sorry about the mess in uploading photos from our recent trip to St Kathines Dock.
Could somebody tell me the right way for multiple photo upload ta.

I use www.photobucket.com open an acount, upload your images, then copy "IMG Code" and paste in your message like so;-

An Englishman,5 Frenchmen, 2 Algerians(our drivers) nearest water 2 days drive away so we used landcruisers and imagination to go wake/sand boarding

this was a while ago probably the reason crude was so expensive at the time


Sorry you said multi load, just keep adding, but put a space in between it looks better, plus you can add text easier;-

size 11 boots fixed to shaped ally sheet so one size fits all

Yep - another vote for photobucket.
Make some folders in photobucket to organise your uploads.

I also reduce the size of the photo before I upload - Windows XP has an add on called Image Resizer - Windows 7 doesnt but there is a free third party alternative called "Prish Resizer" which works just as well - in fact even better. For both, you simply "right click" inside Windows Explorer and "resize" appears as an option and then automatically creates a new file of the reduced size/resolution.

I then upload the smaller files to photobucket - you can keep loads of pics then in photobucket - especially if they are in sub folders.

The resize process is probably not necessary - I think photobucket will reduce the size for you anyway but this way you reduce the time of the upload considerably and keep control of the file sizes yourself.

Also dont forget youtube for video clips.

Simply add ["youtube"] then the number of the clip that youtube allocates to your clip followed by ["/youtube"] - remove the "s

And we can then all enjoy your videos as well without loosing the focus of the thread.

All the best
Mike

I used to reduce photo sizes before I uploaded them... either using a photoediting program or MS Office Picture Manager.

Now I always reduce then as I upload them using P'buckets resizer. It may be a bit slow but being able to do it automatically saves faffing around with other programs and is as a result probably quicker in the long run.
Just select the pictures and the required size and let is get on with it.
A limited range of sizes available but that does not seem to really matter.

I use the limited editing facility in P'Bucket to adjust the pictures too when a bit of tweaking is necessary.
