In order to get photos posted on this web site, you must first get them digitally into your computer. This is easy enough if you have a digital camera, but for those shooting film you can either have your film processor create a CD of your photos at the same time they print your photos, or if you have access to a scanner, you can scan them in yourself.

For posting photos on the web, you'll only need a small version of the photo to keep the pages loading quickly and not to eat your photo web storage space. 72dpi is the best resolution. A vertical image is fine at about 4-5 inches and a horizontal at about 5-6 inches is fine.

Be sure that when you are sizing a photo for the web that you crop and size a "Copy" of the original, NOT the original.

You will need to store your images on the web either on your own web site or on another photo hosting site like http://www.realtree.com/photopost/. Save a copy of your chosen photos to upload to the hosting site at the sizes reccomended above to a either a folder you have created, ie; called "My Web Photos", or simply to the desktop of your computer. Follow the directions of the hosting site in order to get the photos uploaded.

Once uploaded, you will want to create a link to the hosting site in your "Favorites" folder.

Once your photos are hosted, you'll need to get them into the Realtree forums. When starting your thread that will contain one or more of your photos, type the text of the post, then click on the "Image" button below the text box. A second small window will appear on the screen with "http://" that wants the rest of the address to your photos. At this point, the easiest way to get that address is to copy and paste it in there. This will seem complicated at first, but is really very simple after it's done a time or two.

Click on "File" at the top of the web page, followed by "New" and then "Window". Once the new window has opened, which will look like a duplicate of the page you were on, click on "Favorites," then on the link to the hosting site. Once at the hosting site, double click on the title of the image you want to post. The image should appear in just a second or two. What you will want to do now is to left click and hold as you move the cursor/mouse over the www.address including the www., but not the http.

Once the copy is highlighted, release the left mouse button and press and hold the "ctrl" button and the "C" key at the same time. You have now copied the address to your computer. Close the hosting page and return to the page that includes the thread you are creating. Be sure the flashing "I" bar is next to the "http://" in the small window and press and hold the "ctrl" and "v" keys at the same time, pasting the address in the box. The image address should now appear in the small window. Click OK. Click "Add Reply" or "Add New Topic" as the situation requires.

Your image should now appear in your post. If there are any problems or questions, please feel free to ask or post them in the Photography and Video Forum.
