photo help anyone!
« on: Sun Oct, 16, 2011, 02:19:AM »
Hey everybody, I've seen some of you posting large photos of your work and was wondering how you are getting the pictures so large. I use Flickr presently and am obviously not terribly computer wise. I am learning as I go but all I've posted so far is a couple of thumbnail size photos.

I use Picasa 3 from Google to upload My photo's to. Then use the URL in the body of the post, and it will display large. You can use any o the Photo upload sites to do this method. Photobucket , and Flicker are some others.

Hope it helps.

Use Photobucket myself, but the principle is the same, whatever site you use.

I use Picasa as well, Google also will provide a free program to organize your photos and make uploading really easy.

posting pictures is easier than you think. i use photo bucket my self,

as you can see in this pic you get options, by just clciking the IMG code it will copy it for me and all i have to do on the forums press ctrl + v or right clcik and select paste.

thats all there is to it.

Hey, thanks for the info. I was just messing around with me flickr account and figured out how to use it to post larger pictures. My "in progress" photos should be larger and easier to see.
