LIweddings

Could we get a crash course on these things.

1) How the search engine works? Is it case sensitive? Does it correct mispelled screen-names etc?

2) the picture resizing. HOw come some people can post bigger pics while other people can't? If you scan it will it automatically upload? Does a digital camera make the images to big by default causing us digi-cam people to constantly resize? The resizing comes out so small it is so hard to see??????I want to post in my post cause i can't figure out the link to shutterfly.

Re: LIweddings

your camera has a setting that controls the size. It's called the resolution (similar to the resoluation of your desktop - if you know that, that is)

the bigger the sizer, the deeper the image appears (overall, the picture is bigger)

it's kinda hard to explain... hope this helps

Re: LIweddings

I always upload my pics to shutterfly. Its much easier than trying to resize them...I don't know think I ever successfully resized anything either...

Re: LIweddings

You have to try the different resolution settings on the resizer. If your pic comes from a digital camera, chances are the quality is better i.e. higher resolution. On the resizer you have two options:

-use existing resolution
-use default resizer resolution

If you keep the original resolution, the resizer has to compensate for the high quality of the image by shrinking it in dimensions in order for it to reach a size small enough to post (60kb). If you use the default resolution (don't know exactly what that is) it will usually come out bigger in dimensions but of a lesser quality (lower resolution).

If your pic is super high resolution, like 1024x768 or higher (and big, like close to a meg), your probably never going to get it down to 60kb without cropping it and changing the resolution manually in photoshop.

Hope that helps!!

Re: LIweddings

What I do is go into Microsoft Photo editor and resize the pic from my digitial camera to maybe 40%-50% percent of it's original size. It's still huge!

Just use your computer's photo editing program - most operating systems come with them. Or FM me and email me the pic and I'll do it.

Re: LIweddings

Thanks nadine!. I don't think my computer has a photo editing program

Re: LIweddings

just keep in mind, when you incresase the photo on a picture taken at lower resoluation, once you enlarge it, it will become distorted and pixelated

always best to take pictures on bigger size

Re: LIweddings

MS Photo Editor is under All Programs/Microsoft Office Tools. We only have Word but we have it.

Your digicam might have also come with photo editing software. If you have a scanner it should definetely have.

I don't know what those are. Do you have your manual? Mine says Fine, Basic, Normal.

Re: LIweddings

I hope LI Weddings responds, because at times I search for a post that I KNOW exists, but it doesn't come up in a search. Sometimes I'll search by the screen name or something, and then I'll find it. It's frustrating.
