| I posted my first pice here yesterday. I used myfishingpictures.com to do it but you have to click on the link to get it to come up. I tried using the attachment on the site and it says that the file has to be less than 200 kb, hard to get the pics any smaller. I turned the megapixels setting all the way down on the camera. Any suggestions for an easier way? |

Here's one:

Best for this forum is 640X480 |

| a bit of advice: keep your camera quality (pixels) turned up high. at least in the 2800x1700 range.
this will give you a high-quality original photo.
(low quality originals become blurry or "digitized" when you start adjusting them later on.)
then after you put the picture on your computer, adjust the size from there (as described above) to 640x480 in order to upload into a thread. |

Location: oswego, il | What I do is open up my picture in an editor. Mine came with dell picture studio already installed. I then view the image size to see what my KB size is. Then i crop the photo to get rid of any image area I don't need to show, then shrink the pixel size to get a decent size picture for posting. I save most at 400-500x400-500 unless the picture is elongated then it is a little more disproportionate. |

| I post photos on many sites, and use photobucket.com as my host site. It's free, and you can post pics up to 800 pixels wide there. Of course you can't post pics that size here, but they can be whatever size you pick. Good luck.
Steve, how's that D50 working for you? Looking at the D80, D200, or D400 yet? |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | We have a D70 as well, so it's tough to make the move to the 80, but the 200 has Zach's attention. I REALLY like my D50! |

| I'll up the limit to 300k.
Always shoot your pictures at max size and resolution, then use resized copies for things like posting to the web. I usually post images here at 800 pixels wide.
Here are some image editors.

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | I save most of the images I shoot on the water and in the woods to a CD on Zach's advice, which has turned out to be wise. Only takes a minute, and I'm getting together a pretty extensive library. That way I always have the original in high resolution. |
