Willow and group, I have tried numerous times following the instructions correctly I think. I have tried to download just one pic and still get the same response that it is too large. It appears as though the browse box, when filled in with the info link from my desktop wants to download everything from the desktop, not the one pic I posted there. I suspect that it is me and starting to think that sharing photos with this forum is not in my future. Too much stress at work and try very hard to have it at home. This hasn't helped my stress atmosphere.  |

Sorry about all the personal stress issues.
You may have to "resize" your photos to get photostash to accept them. Anything I shoot with my iphone has to be edited for size. Are you familiar?

I use PIXresizer. Here is a link to a free download of the software. http://pixresizer.en.softonic.com/downloadI have a folder setup I call "Large Pictures". When I get a picture or bunch of pictures I load them there, then run them through PIXresizer and the output from that software, put them in the folder I want. Then from the final folder, I upload to the VRCC board forum, and presto, they are small enough to load. Clean out the folder "Large Pictures" before the next batch. Sounds confusing, but after you do it once if is easier to understand my process. |

Okay, I will give this a try. I was starting to think that I was going have to dig out the old 2.0 camera.

Photostash works, but has very restrictive size requirements.
My advice would be to use Photobucket. It'll be easier on you and it'll work just as well.

Just expressing my own view here, but just because you're able to post large pics, it doesn't mean you have to. Yes, there are many instances where a large close-up shot is indispensable because of the technical nature of a given issue. But other than that, humongous photos are arguably wasted pixels. Meanwhile, you can always crop out the relevant section of the photo reducing it's overall size. When you post a huge photo, in the same process, the entire page gets enlarged including the width of the paragraphs, and you start off reading the paragraph from the West coast all the way to the East coast only to have to jump back to the West coast to read the second line in the same paragraph. That' irritating. Plus the added height of large photos means you that you do more scrolling down the page than reading the topic. If there is indeed something intangible in your pulitzer photo that can not be fully conveyed to the viewing audience without the photo being displayed at full size, than I suggest using a downsized photo and linking it to the original and larger version. (Below, click to enlarge.)   Rukus and Rufus, if memory serves me. |

Oh wow, that makes two people. I read personal blogs a lot and after a while even the authors of the blogs come to the realization that more often than not the size of their esteemed pictures ain't all that necessary in the overall scheme things. So at some point in their illustrious careers they downsize their photos on their own to a more appropriate size. Actually, people don't 'write' blogs anymore per se, they do more posting photographs (of what they ate for breakfast), then annotate with commentary with varying levels of sanity. But the relevant point is that photos remain a more concise way to explain things within limits, on a technical forum for one, and why continue to "write analog in a digital world." Did that sound like a sermon or what. |
