how to post a photo Options

[dmenche914]

i have read the instructions on the FAQ key, and still cannot figure how to post a photo. Can someone please help, using minimal computer lingo.

The instructions tell to click on the IMG button, and I do and get a question box asking for a URL. Whats a URL, and what do i type in? My photos are on a CD disk, from a camera. I got the photos to display ok on my computer, and I can select them ok. How do I get past step one and select a URL?

second question is my photos i was told are 700 mb in size, the instructions say that is too big, (they came from a cheap camera, so i was surprised to find they are too big). How can i compress or make the data smaller on the photos to fit the requirement?

Any help is appreciated.

thanks dave

Just figured on how to check the memory of the photo, it is 680 kilo Bits, 1600 x 1200 and 72 dpi, it is from a Fuji camera model Fine Pix A 205. It is a JPEG file.

So that's what I got, does this mean it will not be possible to send photos from this camera?

Can the resolution be reduced (every third pixel used or something) to reduce the memory?

Why is this camera so hard to use on the internet , are other cameras like this or am I stuck?

thanks dave

for posting here, and simplicity's sake, change the res of the pictures to 640 x 480 at 72dpi. that should get you close or under the max filesize accepted.
