+scribbler Posted August 25, 2002 Share Posted August 25, 2002 I take good quality digital photos for hidden and found caches. With 100K limit, ow do others get the quality? When I try to enlarge them enough to see deatil, I become over "pixillated". Quote Link to comment
+georgeandmary Posted August 25, 2002 Share Posted August 25, 2002 Size and compression rate. Play with it until you get something you can live with. You can always link back to an off site storage place where you can post the full size photos. george Remember: Half the people you meet are below average. Quote Link to comment
+h2odog Posted August 25, 2002 Share Posted August 25, 2002 I'd suggest taking high-quality photos and then resize/compress them in a graphics program. I personally use Paint Shop Pro by Jasc Software, but if you're filthy rich the "best" (the industry standard) is Photoshop by Adobe. There are probably even some freebies out there that will do the job. Quote Link to comment
Yomikibagami Posted August 25, 2002 Share Posted August 25, 2002 I use Photoshop to resize and crop the pictures. It's a cool program and lets you do a lot to the pictures. I just barely got a camera and I love it. When I shrink them down and save it, I save them at about 75% or so and it makes the file about 50 to 80 K. I also used ACDSee, it's a whole lot less confusing than Photoshop. Quote Link to comment
pook Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 If your camera only allows you to take pix of 100k or less you must have an old, old camera or a setting that needs changing, or a very, very small memory card. Quote Link to comment
+Kfam Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 Take pictures of benchmarks. They allow up to 4 meg uploads for those then resize it for you. Hopefully, sometime, they can do this for the regular cache pages too. Quote Link to comment
+Grandpa Rocks & Grouchy Gramma Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 After much frustration and trying to learn a new didital camera and photoshop I searched to forums for advice on how to post photos. After much reading I discovered the way. I would take my pix and resize them in photoshop and save them at high compression rate jpegs to get them to 100k or less. Then I would upload to the cache page and look at them and find them over pixelated and terrible looking. After my research I found someone who said to just hit the refresh button on your browser after loading and looking at the pic on the cache page and lo and behold the pic came out looking fine. I'm not real computer literate and it took me a long time to get this all figured out but now it seems simple. Try this and I hope it helps.
