You need to scroll down a little and hit the "Manage Attachments" button. You should be able to navigate to whereever your picture is and attach it. :thumb

Hi Susan,

To "Attachment" the picture must be smaller than 76kB ( about 3x5 or 800x600pixels) depending.

After you attach the photo using the "Attachment" function (scroll down) do not "preview" the post just post it.

You can only attach one photo or image per post so you will have to post more than one post (reply) for each picture.

It's easy and great to sign up for smugmug and we get a discount if you use the code. I'll see if I can find it. If you have a photo sharing service then you use the "Picture" button above and add as many as you want up to the MOA servers capability about five depending on size?

I like your new avatar; what route are you flying?

My bike's exactly like yours, except for a Remus. You've got to hear your bike with one, on the pipe, next to a cliff face. With your pay grade increase, you can afford it now. :stick

I'm gonna learn to do the pictures, even if I have to bring my best friend in to help (he's a forensic software guy; a disc scrubber and code breaker). Then they'll be sorry here, because I'm going to put up a ton of cat pictures. I may even do a cat avatar. I'll be in big leagues; even though I'm a sub - thousand poster.

Hey, oh great exulted Grand Poohbah, how are you progressing? How did the MRI go? Give us an update, won't you?

[bluehole]

I sort of had it right. I was retrieving the URL from Smugmug, but not the one size specific. The thread that linked to Smugmug for posting on forums, blogs, etc., was invalable.

[wezul]

Depending on the picture you are looking at in smugmug, if you right click on that image and go to properties, the url you want to copy and subsequently use to imbed your image in your post is there. IIRC, smugmug has 4 image sizes for each pic you upload, small, medium large and original. At least for me that's the case, I upload very large images. Righthand side of the picture screen if you mouseover there you see a little flyout menu that allows you to choose the image size, then use the right click/properties procedure mentioned above to get the appropriate url.

Good luck.

Wez

[bluehole]

Thanks Wezul. Trying the large image. The original appears massive. I want to see how the large works first.




http://picard.smugmug.com/photos/125268625-L.jpg

[bluehole]

I think the large is as big as I would want to post. The small and medium seem fine. Otherwise I have to scroll to the right to see the whole picture. It might be good if it is an exceptional picture.

I have downloaded irfanview and gone through the instructions to change pixel and dpi size but my photo is too large (197kb). How do I reduce the phote size under the 160kb limit to put on the forum?

[GregFeeler]

I have downloaded irfanview and gone through the instructions to change pixel and dpi size but my photo is too large (197kb). How do I reduce the phote size under the 160kb limit to put on the forum?

Usually, you will get where you need to be for posting photo size by reducing the photo to no more than 600x800 or 800x600 pixels (depending on if it's a portrait or landscape orientation). That makes for a fairly large photo for the forum, but doable. In a .jpg format it should be under 100kb. Even smaller sizes are easier for people to view who have their monitors set to 1024x768 resolution (lots of laptops) or smaller. Try posting some different sizes here.

[scootrp125x]

Thanks. I reduced the pixel size even further it worked. The picture was a bit small but it was okay.

Look Here for how to get your scanner to play along with you. (http://www.bmwmoa.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&postid=17458#post17458)

:type Wait, wait, a minute, you are making this too complicated.
Every scanner has a dotted scan adjustment feature reflected in the "Preview" screen seen on your computer. Use your "mouse" to drag the edges of this dotted image crop tool over your picture. Don't let the scanner just choose to scan "default". You have to help the scanner decide what size of a job it is asked to do.

So, you have selected correctly, then choose the type of file you want the scanner to save your image in and where,on your comptuer, the image will be found after you save it. Do not scan it to the internet from you scanner.

As indicated, don't expect the scanner to save the image in a particular size of photo unless you have entered that value in the scanners "preference" file, or setup file.

When you tell your scanner to save your scan, it will have a drop down menu to choose from and it will also have a drop down menu to choose an application to send the image to, like Adobe Photoshop or this other image enhancing program being promoted in these posts.

What is improtant is that an image scanned to a file MUST then be opened in an image enhancing program that can manipulate the image so that it is internet ready, ie. match the upload preferences desired to see the image and conserve space on the host drive.

I hope this posting is helpful?

Has anyone figured out how to do this with Snapfish? The family already puts pictures there. Then I do not have to have more than one host sit.[/QUOTE]

Ah, yes. Go to the internet site, using your "mouse", highlight or point to the photo you want to capture, and "right" click your mouse button, assuming you have a "mouse" with two tabs and a roller wheel between them. ( if you are using a laptop, then it is the the right tab below the scroller pad that is used instead of a "mouse".
A window pops up that will show you what file format it is copied in and then you pick the location on your computer. The photos are just the right size for posting on the internet. Some will be better resolution than others. I'm assuming this web based program is similar to others that family members have used, there are many.

I resized my pics with Irfanview. I was able to post but the picture is small and not clear. What am I doing wrong? Is it really this hard or am I just that computer illiterate? You can see my pic at the end of post a pic in hexheads. HELP!!

Usually, resizing from a bigger picture to a smaller picture works just fine. I use Irfanview a lot... What I do is open the original picture...usually the size is quite big if it was shot with a digital camera, like maybe 1600 x 1200. I then click on Image, Resize/Resample, then click on either 640 x 480 or 800 x 600. I take all of the other options as default. After that, chose File, Save As, and enter a new file name, different than the original file name.

Is that what you did? What is the source of the original? If you go from a smaller picture to a bigger picture, you can get a grainy picture if you go too big.

[rinty]

Is it really this tough, or am I just that computer illiterate?Bob1100RTC

It is tough, Bob. And remember, many of the people here are I T professionals, and it's easy for them.

I just opened a Smug Mug account and can't even get my pictures into the site. The Smug Mug is easy enough, but I can't yank the stuff out of my computer.

Anyway, the teen agers are here now and are going to help me.

I tried resizing to 640x480 and 800x600. Both resulted in too large a file size. I have to be doing something wrong. I just don't know what it is.

[20774]

I tried resizing to 640x480 and 800x600. Both resulted in too large a file size. I have to be doing something wrong. I just don't know what it is.

What do you mean by "too large"? That's about the right size for a picture to appear on the screen without going over the edge, requiring a viewer to have to scroll up/down or left/right.

I don't have any of the on-line picture storage space, so I can't really help there. Maybe there's some kind of restriction you're having with your file-sharing site.

[kbasa]

http://lamble.smugmug.com/photos/212483706-L.jpg

Just trying the higher res.

Lamble, I made it the full size version of your photo by changing the "M" to an "L" at the end of the file name. Glad to see you got smugmug working.

[kbasa]

I tried resizing to 640x480 and 800x600. Both resulted in too large a file size. I have to be doing something wrong. I just don't know what it is.

When we're talking about image "size", there are two components that make up the actual size of the file. I think the limit here is 160K/image (it's been a while). The image size comes from the sizes you've shown above, but also from the density of the image. For example, your image, while a different dimensional size, has the original density "size".

In Irfanview, when you resize, you want to turn the density down to something like 72dpi (which is about the max you'll get on a display) at the same time as you change the dimensional "size".

Try something like 400 on the long side for the dimensions (leave the aspect ratio alone and Irfan view will calculate the other edge's length) and set the density (resolution? look for something that controls dpi) to 72dpi and you should be set.

Alternatively, you can spend $25/year (or thereabouts, use the MOA discount) and just stick all your photos up on smugmug. You can then just use a link to the image and forever forget about resizing and attaching. :)

Try it again, man, let's see your photos! I'd love to see more folks taking part in the photo assignment threads. :buds

Thanks for your offer, Dave. I'm on a PC. Teen agers to the rescue! My daughter's friend, who is going on to take graphic arts, came in and got the uploading going in about 2 minutes. Ha! He had never seen Smug Mug and was quite interested in it. Wondered why I was using it, and was quite impressed. I wouldn't have been able to do it on my own though: I had stuff in parked in both Photoshop Elements and Microsoft Office.

Nice shots, Franze, especially that summit snowfield one. Looks like you've got the hang of it now.

Maybe you could put some text in underneath them and describe where they were taken.

Rinty

[franze]

HI Rinty and to all the others before us and after,

You know, as I was muddling through the numerous posts on the "How do I post a Picture " thread I found those that got it right away and those that didn't ( you and I :dunno ) but your "stick to it-ness" kept me going until I got it. So, to answer your questions on some of the pix in my tests. The R coming down the snowfield is taken in the French Alps. You can see this was part of a recent Tour de France route as bikers names are stilll visible painted on the road. The guy on the red RT in the big snowfield is me near the Val d'Isere. Campsite is Bavarian alps, headlight on the wet road in the woods is also Bavaria, rock Canyon is also in France. I'm working up my courage to post a ride report......

[rinty]

...your stick-to-it-ness kept me going

Thank you; I've been putting it off for two years. For some reason, I get really upset when I hit IT snags. :dunno

Ah, Val d' Isere, home of my childhood hero, Jean - Claude Killy.

I'm working up my courage to do a road ride report.....

I'm thinking about some short ones in the near future. The multiple picture posting is not hard with Smug Mug, and then you can stick your text in between.
I just keep the curser well away from the precious HTML text. :laugh

My other project is some pretty good prints that I have scanned and parked in Photoshop Elements. But my Elements for Dummies book got lost in the paper vortex of my wife's home medical office and I've forgotton how to massage them. So my teen age consultant is coming over this evening to refresh my technique, and missing Monday Night Football and the Flames vs. Colorado game is a small price to pay.:)

Hey Rinty.
Lovely family shot!
I KNOW you have more...:stick
Cheers,
Dave in Oakville (back on the domestic run..)

[rinty]

Thanks Dave. I do have more family shots but will try to restrain myself from putting them up. It was actually you who inspired me to learn how to post pictures; I had been procrastinating for about two years. I figured that if an Airbus driver could learn it, surely a Mooney guy should be up to the task. :laugh

I had you in mind yesterday, as I was on a 330 on the Frankfurt to Calgary run (my step mother in Holland just passed away). There were serious headwinds, so the captain took us way up north on a run he said he hadn't been on for some time. Amazingly, we made up a 45 minute late pushback and arrived exactly as originally scheduled.

That Frankfurt airport though, is the most confusing one I have ever seen.

[podsobinski]

So where is the "attach file" command? As per directions?
gpodzo

[podsobinski]

I am trying but it is like the directions are not exactly what I need!
How does the command go to the correct picture file?

[podsobinski]

How do you get the picture files to Infra View?

[bikerfish1100]

I've found that the easiest way to post good pics on any site, without worrying at all about their sizing, is to go thru flock/photobucket. it takes a bit to get setup & running, but once done it's as easy as can be.
here's how-
in your browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Netscape Navigator, etc), go to flock.com. & download their browser. once downloaded, open Flock (I saved a shortcut to my desktop) and go to photobucket.com
once there create your account. I set photobucket as my start page in Flock, as that is really the only thing I use Flock for. you will then be able to upload pics from your computer's hard-drive, or from any peripheral device (camera, scanner, memory card, etc) you have. now your pics are on the web, and you can access them for posting using their directions. should be pretty self-explanatory once you see what everything looks like. (use the IMG Code as the link to copy)

[podsobinski]

I guess I am not computer literate enough to handle all that. I know how to email pictures to friends etc. But taking them off my Pics file and putting them into another program then putting them on the forum just doesn't seem right. My tecno geek guy just laughs at those steps and says with all the members throughout the nation it is a joke the forum isn't upgrade to a more user friendly format that a rock guy could understand.

[kbasa]

How do you get the picture files to Infra View?


You use File>Open in Irfanview, just like any other application.

The simplest way to insert pictures is to host them somewhere on the web. Flickr is free, but I like Smugmug.

This will keep you from having to actually mail pictures, you just send people a link to your gallery.

I believe we're on the most recent version of vBulletin. We've upgraded since the original post, so the Attach File option is now Manage Attachments.

[podsobinski]

One problem solved. . .Attach File directions that I have been trying to find is really Manage Attachment command. Wow, I am sticking with rocks and riding motorcyles. . .frustration to post pictures has hit an all time high.

[franze]

hey man, don't give up. I own almost ALL of page 26 and half of page 27 !!!!!!:banghead But now I've got it........usually.........

[podsobinski]

I will keep trying. For some unknow reason an picture of my first motorcycle came through. It must have been the correct size on my own pic file. That was just shear luck.

[rinty]

podso:

The hardest part is moving the pictures out of your PC into the photo site. Once you're into Smug Mug, it's not that hard to get them into the Forum. With Smug Mug, you have the simple picture sizing feature that allows dummies like me to post. It's worth the 30 bucks (or whatever the fee was) right there.

And if I want to do special picture editing, I just use Photoshop Elements in my own PC, with the help of my Dummies book.

Rinty

[bikerfish1100]

try this:
http://flock.com/
clik the Download Flock 1.0 link.
then you'll get this page
http://www.flock.com/get-ready-to-flock/
when you open flock as a browser, go to http://photobucket.com/
once you've joined, and your account (free) is established, you'll see some boxes in the upper right that say "upload to (whatever you named yourself)" The default source will be "images from my PC", but you can always change that if/when you want to.
really, it's damn easy.
then you can post pics like these

http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q13/bikerfish1100/mtmeeker2-2.jpg

no worry about file sizes either.

[podsobinski]

I will give each idea and try this weekend. My mind is spinning and I need to go to Happy Hour now to calm my mind down. Snow in Colorado so no motorcycling this weekend.
Thanks for all the help again, hope I can do it.:wave

[rinty]

Podzo:

Get one of your imaging savvy students to sit down with you and walk you through it. That takes all the stress out of it. Even my teen age expert, who is a multi - media student, admits that the process can be (in his words) weird.

It's quite satisfying once you're into it.

Hi Rinty! Sorry to 'hear' the reason of your trip!!

I remember well, the Jet Stream that week! I personaly saw as much as 167 kts from the west, crossing it N to S.(with the associative turbulence)!!

The reasons for going way north, above the Atlantic Track System, can be complex, with regards to ETOPS requirements etc. With the Jet Stream as strong as it was, I'm sure flying North of it was the best alternative in regards to fuel burn and time issues.

I didn't mean to ask for more family shots, as that is very personal, I was hoping you might have a few shots of the roads through the 'Rocks' and surrounding areas. I have a feeling you have some! :)

Cheers,
Dave

tough to offer advice without knowing what method you're trying.
I remain a huge fan of Flock/Photobucket- mulitple pics, any size I want, as easy as copy & paste, and the upload to Flock is as simple as can be (instructions a page or two earlier).

I had the same problem and had to ask. When you go to post you have the option of ATTACHING a photo from your computer and uploading it. This option only allows one photo per post. The software doesn't have an option for more photos.

You also have the option of referencing the URL of a photo posted elsewhere on the web. This option permits the referencing of more than one URL, hence more than one photo in a single post.

Pat

[bikerfish1100]

letting us know what method you used would be helpful for diagnosing.
of course, if you go the Flock/Photobucket route, you will never have that kind of problem.

[PatrickDonovan]

I followed the instructions posted here on page uno. I saved the picture to a file I created in my pictures after I re-dimensioned it. It told me that picture has already been posted...can't use...... I didn't think it would matter. I would think you'd be able to post the same pic a thousand times?

I had the same problem. I renamed the photo. It still said I'd already uploaded it. Then I resized it and renamed it and it allowed me to use it again.

Axe - you have one too many image tags in your post.

if you are clicking the "picture" icon in the editor, then you only need to enter the URL of the image... the forum software automatically applies the image tags.

As I am surching thru the threads, I see no pics. I am most interested in doing my own wrenching and would hope to see topics on repairs with pics.
