rlcam Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 (edited) O.K. I know this has been beat to death,but lets hit it a few more times,please.I need some help with downloading pics in the gallery.I put a few in a year or so ago and don't know how it worked then.I have been resizing pics all night at work trying to get a good size to fit here and other sites.I have resized every pics to 640x480.I had to put them in a new folder from Photobucket.I hit browse and double click on my pic and it transfered to form.But when I went to view them,I clicked on them and they didn't get very big and they were blurry.This is driving me nuts.I deleted them and am going ti try again if someone will give a brutha a hand with this,thanks in advance....Rob By the way I took some pretty good pics they were all crystal clear when they were downloaded.I'll be away from comp. until tonight so thanks.

BobP Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 I've had the same problem in the past depending on the software used to view and resize jpeg photos. Unfortunately, some programs just don't work well with others. I downloaded Google's free PICASA photo album program a year ago and haven't had any problems since. It is a very nice program, easy to use. Picasa finds all the JPEG files on your computer and puts them in albums. It also has an easy camera-to-computer download feature. It can fix lighting and color problems. When I want to upload a pic to TU, I export the pic from Picasa to my "personal stuff" file on the computer in the size I want (often 640x480), and I specify that the resizing process retain the quality of the original (I don't really know how it crushes pixels, but it works). Then when it's time to upload to TU, I browse to my personal folder to find the resized jpeg. Works nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaPala Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Unfortunately the automatic resizing function in Photobucket is a bit lacking,especially if the resize is a hugh reduction. So don't use photobucket to resize. You can try this too: Image resizing, do it with PIXresizer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazmail Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Thanks L/P, I used this before my "2008" crash and have never been able to find it again. I have been using "PhotoScape" for the past few years which is IMO is not a be editor, BUT PICresizer is so quick for reducing the size, it's not worth mucking around with the others. Thanks again .... and good luck with it Rob - Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlcam Posted August 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Thanks guys I just thought I had done something wrong.I resized all my pics so they are all trashed probably but I have them in a folder so I guess I will start over.I have never really had many to put on the gallery and now I do so I just wanted to display them.They don't hold water compared to most of the ones on there but it would show new guys how what they could do before they step up to an airbrush,thanks again....Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
