M9inger Posted June 23, 2003 Posted June 23, 2003 Hey, I'm not real new at this caching thing but I am new to digital photography. I've tried several times to post a photo on line but when I get it down to the required 100k size it is so grainy you can't even tell what it is...HELP!! Quote

+hutchca Posted June 23, 2003 Posted June 23, 2003 I usually start by cropping the photo to only show what's necessary. Then I resize the photo to around 640 pixels horizontal or 480 pixels vertical without changing the aspect ratio. Then save it as a jpeg with ~%90 to ~%50 compression. They end up at around 35-50KB P.S. I use Microsoft Photo Editor. It does all the above tasks nicely. Quote
+Alan2 Posted June 23, 2003 Posted June 23, 2003 I do just about what hutcha does except I use Irfanview which you can download for free of the web. Alan Quote
+Turtle3863 Posted June 24, 2003 Posted June 24, 2003 I know it may be too late for you, but if anyone else is reading. I find it best to have a digital camera that has deffrent settings. I set it on the lowest resolution when I am geocaching and that way there is no formating when I upload. If I see a real nice picture while I am out I take a high resolution for my collection.

+BigBirdNL Posted June 24, 2003 Posted June 24, 2003 If you want to show a large size, large file size picture, you can add a link to an external site with the photo stored. Like BigBird -- there is no spoon -- CacheMaps homepage: CacheMaps Quote
+Quoddy Posted June 24, 2003 Posted June 24, 2003 Did you try closing the session and then re-opening again? Before doing this the images will be extremely pixelated. "Blessed are those who can laugh at themselves for they shall never cease to be amused" Quote

Before doing this the images will be extremely pixelated. Not from my side. Maybe because it is already in my cache? (the computer one's cache I mean :-). The picture is downsized using Irfan. Nothing else is done with it. BigBird CacheMaps homepage Quote
