I am uploading a couple of pics, I have my camera om 14m, 1111 it says for the size on my camera, my loads just don't come out , it says they were succefully loaded, then when I try to look for them they are not there. What can i do? Thank you.

I had to reduce the size of the picture prior to uploading when I had the same problem.

Kurt, What size did you have your camera on?

My camera shoots at 10mp. I adjusted the size of the file with editing software. You should be able to find this option with whatever you use to manipulate your photos.

Set your camera size setting to "basic" or "normal" or "email". Then, to be safe, if you have an app that will email the photo (especially to a phone), it will automatically resample the image to 72 dpi, which is screen resolution, which is what forum libraries like best. Then upload the image you emailed yourself. If you know how to check file size, your jpg should be well below 1 meg, somewhere between 300K and 600K should give you a nice big crisp photo on the forum without wasting Tom's disk space. Megapixels have nothing to do with it, it's all about resolution.

Lorenzo,
Do you have photo software on your computer to help edit your pictures?
If you do, you should have a "save" function on the software that allows you to save the picture in different formats.

If you do save the picture in a different format, try to use the .jpeg format and use the compressed version to try to get the picture in a size that uses no more than 100K of storage or even less. You lose some quality with the compressed format, but it is much easier to send via mail or for other users to see and use.


Take care
Roger

p.s.
If you don't have photo software on your computer, you can either buy, or do searches on the internet for some "free" software that may work for you.

p.p.s.
Here are a few well known examples of photo editing software for your computer:

1. Apple iPhoto
It comes with iLife if you buy an Apple computer but you can also buy it separately. iPhoto is an extremely useful program that is both easy to use and relatively inexpensive. You can automatically adjust settings on your photos, organize them into flipbooks and even have them professionally printed, all within the program. (Read more in our printer and printing blog )

2. Picasa
You can not beat the price here, because Picasa is free. It only works on Windows operating systems, but it is easy to use and allows you to edit and manage your photos. Once you are done, it is also very easy to share your photos with family and to create albums that can be viewed online.

3. IrfanView
IrfanView is a free program for Windows operating systems only. You can use it for personal use only, but that is all you really need for family photo manipulation, right? You can do simple edits and there are several options available if you want to print your photos. Just make sure you have photo printer ink if you are going to do so.

4. Roxio PhotoSuite
Roxio PhotoSuite is for Windows only, but it is multi-featured and gives you a lot of options for photo editing. You can manipulate each photo until it is the best it can be, put them in calendars and then share them. You can even burn your albums onto a DVD.

6. Adobe Photoshop Elements
While the full featured Photoshop CS2, lets say, requires quite a bit of skill to use but Photoshop Elements has just enough features to appease the more skilled without confusing the beginner. It is available for both Windows and Mac platforms and you can fix photos and create photo compositions. You also have superior control over resolution options and can print top quality photos from this program. Adobe Photoshop can print with Matte or Glossy Photo Papers.

8. Foto Finish
While you can try it for free for thirty days, FotoFinish is a program you will have to pay for. However, it is worth its price tag. You can edit your photos for professional quality, put them in compositions for print and the web or just print out your photos as though they were professionally developed.

9. Paint.NET
Paint.NET is a free software program that is funded by donations on their website. It only runs on Windows operating systems but it provides many useful tools including unlimited undo! Trust me, that is a useful one. It is meant for the beginner but can be utilized at full capacity by those with more experience. Paint.net is a good photo and image editing software to print on Matte or Waterproof Photo Paper.

10. GIMP
GIMP or the GNU Image Manipulation Program is a free program that works on most operating systems. It is very similar to Adobe Photoshop in function, meaning that it offers numerous options and features. While it may be a bit over the heads of the standard family album maker, it is worth a look, especially if you have an interest in furthering your skills.
