Transfering Pic from camera to caching info sites

[GEOTRACK]

When I go geocaching, and now have a digital camera, how do I bring up online to put on pics of areas of geocaching?

I'm assuming you want to know how to upload a pic? If so....go to your cache page and there is a button to click that says upload images for this. If you can't figure it out after that..let me know.

There are some restrictions: 1) you can only upload images to your own logs or caches or profile, and 2) it's my understanding that pictures of things like travel bugs have a limit of 100K in size. I do not know if that is the case for all photos.

 

If your upload is failing, though, after looking like it's starting okay, you might want to have a look at the 100K limit, and see if a smaller picture will upload.

I seem to be able to upload pics of 200k or a bit larger? Why do some people's pictures look so much better than mine? After clipping mine down to 200k or so, they look awful!

I use a program called LView Pro, which can be found for free on the web. Of all the pic editing progs out there, I like this one the best. I been using it for about 5 years for this very reason.

 

I take my pics with the highest quality my digital camera will allow (1600 x 1200), then resize them using the LView Pro. I change the size to 640 X 480, and the image size drops from a whopping 700K to about 60K. The best part about it is the images can be enlarged at any time by anyone while the image quality is not affected.

 

This sure helps when uploading or emailing pics that have size limitations (like here at geocaching or when using a web based e-mail such as Yahoo) Hope this helps....Kar of "Team Shibby!"
