Did your camera come with a cord to attatch to your computer into the port in the back? How about any photo processing program?

i have the picture files. i start a thread, and try to attach image. 1st it said image too large so i reduced it below 500x500pix and then attached again and it sent me to a page that says slight problem with message board and diverts me back to message boards.
but, i noticed other people have been posting - same time. am i doing this right??

when you want to post go to attach file, which is 2 sections below this box. Go to browse and where you are saving the pics, open that up and then double click and that will attatch it in this box.

exactly how i've been trying! i knew i wasn't stupid. i wonder why it doesn't work

 

[tankcrazy]

That should work.
You said new camera, you said new camera, what kind did you go with to tanks pics of your tank?

 

[who dey]

cannon powershot A75. pictures suck so far. need to tweak it somehow. just tried to post pics again still didn't work

 

[tankcrazy]

What photo program are you using? Some of them really allow you to tweak your pics!! You can make an AWFUL pics look really darn cool.

 

[who dey]

don't know still learning. owners manual is pretty damn big though. i'm sure there's a way

 

[tankcrazy]

Adobe Photoshop works well! Or depending on what kind of computer you have most come with some sort of photo processing program that will work. Take it you just got today!! Did camera come with any software?

So let me get this right.. your not having trouble getting the pics on your computer.. just posting them? If this is the case you have to resize the image to be at most 500 X 500 pixels. Any photo editing software will let you do that... you dont have to go out and spend a ton of money on adobe photoshop. Most cameras come with there own. Anyways once you do that make sure you save it in jpeg form... this is the most recognizable image format. after that you should be ready to go..

It appears you are doing it right.. it is just the board.. I have not been able to post all day... so you are most likly doing it right. best of luck to ya! :joy:

Agree adobe photo is not necessary, just a great program!!
Your camera Who Dey I am sure came with a program, or any newer computer usually comes with one installed, just have to get it set to your camera! JD is right though, gotta make sure set as a JPEG image!!

 

[who dey]

thanks thred! i'll keep trying

 

[tankcrazy]

Where do you have the pics saved?

 

[kcobain111]

I downloaded InfraView for free and it's easy to use. When i want to post a pic i first use infraview to resize to 500x375 then open a new thread, type whatever information i want to post on the pic, press enter 2 times, go to browse attach pic then submit that' exactly what i do hope it helps....

 

[kcobain111]

InfraView can also convert your images to whatever kind you want when you SAVE AS there's a save as type box on the bottom of your window and you can choose JPG jpeg files.
