Skip is working hard and I am such a bitch huh? LOL...

Skip do you know that the learn to grow button as SD sends people to OG still? Is that part of a deal or can we have another at least to our mag?

I dunno why none of my pics worked in my new thread in the breeders forum but I am sure eventually we will get the site up to unreasonable standards. After all this is International Cannagenetics! BOG :) We will be the best...

This has been rough but...

This has been rough but...

I may have discovered another problem I was having with pasting the URL's. Perhaps this can help some other poor fool like me. Don't place your cursor in the place, just right click and it places the cursor automatically and then paste. I believe I may have inadvertantly placed a space in the url and that could be why none of the pics in the breeders forum thread worked. I have now sucessfully posted 3 in a row in the Flower pics gallery so I think I solved my problem.

This will be difficult for every new member however or a lot of them so I hope it can be easier some day with a bit more size available in the posts and avatars but I shall be patient and keep working as well as this old mind can do. BOG

sorry to be such a bitch skip but at least I say what others are often thinking...

valuable info here :)

Ok, I see whats happening I think to Bog and some others.
Don't make the image smaller on you camera, you want a big image, in case you ever have to print it or make it a poster. :)
Memory is cheap / compact flash / memory stick/ whatever
so make the image big for keeping on your computer and/or cd.
You now have the big image on your hard drive and then
you must take that image and run it thru photoshop or equiv
and resize or in our case downsize to within skips specs and bring the resolution down to 72 dpi and then post.

photoshop elements cost 99 bucks and is well worth it.
If you don't have photoshop i have 5.0 and works
with my windows xp i can make a copy and send any
one who want it.

Greenhit is spot on with his advice. If you have an image editor program you should set the resize/resample to 72 dpi as that is the limit of most computer screen displays.

Also if you see an EXIF option, you should select to remove EXIF data when resizing. Since we don't display this info on the site or gallery there's no reason for it and it can make an image size many times bigger than need be. EXIF data is information about the image like the F-stop, exposure, etc. that advanced digital cameras record.

And y'all probably thought digital cameras made life easier!

Hey at least you don't have to buy film, bring it in exposed to the shop, wait hours or days then bring it home, scan it, then do the resizing & posting.

Looks like we're getting an FAQ together! ;)

BTW, I use Corel Photopaint, Adobe Photoshop but mostly Thumbs Plus for quick image manipulation and file maintenance.

There are many programs out there, but these have been the standard for years.

Thumbs Plus is the cheapest of them and allows you to manipulate batches of images at the same time. If you can master that, you can program hundreds of images to be adjusted automatically in various ways. You can also put a copyright stamp on it too.

Oh that's another good reason not to post your originals or large images - because this is the Net, and unless you don't mind people copying/stealing your image, even to sell or use in publications, then by all means put up your originals for people to take and claim as their own. Without a copyright notice or a better quality original image, it's your word vs. theirs.

Of course any image posted on this site will have a date recorded so the act of publishing your images on icmag.com acts as defacto copyright which we can verify should the need arise.

truecannablis,
click on edit on your post with the image to see the proper code to bring it up. it's img not url that belongs in the brackets.

Good luck!
