bulldawg Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 I'm racking my brains as to how to get my photos online for the forums. I signed up for Photobucket, but can't seem to get them uploaded into that site. They are now saved to my computer in "My Pictures". Any suggestions? Thanks.

arrow32 Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Did you resize them? That makes uploading go much faster. You can do that on paint by going to image and stretch/screwing the pic. Just a thought. I use photobucket never have a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldawg Posted December 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Yes, I punched in for medium sizing. I may have to try it on small. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil hunter Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Go to the community link at the top bar of the page, go down and click on Photo Post. It's realtree's own free hosting site. Very easy to use, just make sure your pictures aren't huge. After uploading, there will be a link displayed under the picture that you can copy and paste into a post.

buckee Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Photobucket is by far the easiest hosting site to use, and dependable. Resizing your pictures before uploading, is a must, if you don't want to overload your account. Here's how to do it V V You have a program called "PAINT" on your computer already. RESIZING Pictures Download your picture from your camera to your computer and save them in a folder, where you know where they are. Best place is in "My Documents", and inside the "My Pictures" folder. Go to your picture folder on your PC where the picture/pictures are stored. Right click on the picture, then (left click) on Open with "Paint" Then, up top in the toolbar: left Click on "Image" left Click on "stretch/skew" When the box comes up, change your height and width from 100% to 40% or 50% and then "left click" on "OK". Let's say you chose 50%, and the picture isn't quite small enough yet. You need to first undo, what you just did by clicking on "EDIT" and then "UNDO" Then you can go back to "STRETCH/SKEW" and try maybe 40% or 30%. ................ If you want to keep one picture of the original size for future developing and one of the downsized for the web, click on "FILE" and then "SAVE AS"... then re-name your picture and choose save as .jpg and designate which folder you want to save it in so you know where it is. When naming pictures, don't leave spaces between words or numbers. example: mooseNov2006 It's that easy ''''''''''''''''''''' REFORMATTING PICTURES: If you are just reformatting pictures, from , let's say a, a BITMAP file, to a JPEG (.jpg) file, to upload to the internet, jut open your picture in "PAINT", click on "FILE" and then "SAVE AS", choose "JPEG (.jpg)" and designate which folder you want to save it in so you know where it is. When naming pictures, don't leave spaces between words or numbers. example: mooseNov2006 or moose_Nov_2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldawg Posted December 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Thanks for everyone's replys here. Steve, your detailed post about Paint was excellent, and I am starting to get the pics in. I have some things to do today, but should get these loaded later on today. Thanks again.

Michihunter Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 (edited) All due respect to Buckee, Photobucket will automatically resize your pics on the upload. Just have to set the size default to what you'd like it to be. Here's a screen shot showing the different sizes available(look in the lower middle): Edited December 5, 2008 by Michihunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
