A question about posting pictures

[Guest guest]

Hi, I have a question regarding the posting of pictures. On Tuesday, my

OD gave me a print of the pictures his assistants had taken of me at

the work-up appointment. They took the pictures with a digital camera

and then printed them on one sheet of paper. (I feel they are the most

unflattering pictures ever taken of me, but they show my hideous teeth

and bite so well!) Anyway, I thought they would be great to post to

start my folder in the Photo Album. What should I do - take a picture

of the picture using my 35mm camera, have the film developed and get

the picture loaded onto a picture CD, and download it? I've never

posted pictures before; I need some suggestions/help. Thanks. Signed,

Diane,

See if your doctor's office can actually email you a copy of the file

of the pictures of you or give them to you on a CD. Then you can

upload them onto your computer and then onto this site. You have every

right to have the pictures because they are of you after all.

Otherwise I would say the best thing to do would be to scan the

pictures. I think Kinko's should be able to provide this service.

Somehow taking a picture of another picture with a camera never really

comes out that clearly. Once you've got a copy of the pictures that

can be uploaded onto the site I can talk you through how to actually

upload them if you like.

Sara, Thank you for coming to my rescue! And guess what - I'm at

Kinko's as we speak. I have a scanner at my computer cubicle, but I've

never used one before. I think there's a technical-computer person

working tonite, so I'll see if he's around to help me with the scanner.

How do I upload once the picture is scanned? - Thanks. ~~Diane

Lol Diane, I must be psychic! Ok, go to the link on your left hand

menu of the message board that says Photos and click on that. Once

in the Photos section click on CREATE ALBUM. This allows you to

create your own album with your name to allow us and you in the

future to identify your pics. Then once you've created an album

click on ADD PHOTO. This will bring you to a window that gives you

about space to upload about 5 different photos at once. I recommend

doing only one at a time just in case of problems. Click on BROWSE

which will bring you to the file system of your computer. Click on

the file of your scanned photo - the filepath name for where it is

saved should appear in the blank space next to where it says BROWSE.

You can also add a caption to go with the photo underneath the

BROWSE section. Once this is done click on UPLOAD. And voila', your

photo is uploaded. DON'T FORGET however to go back and delete the

ORIGINAL SIZE of the photo you uploaded as this takes up space on

the message board. You do this by clicking on your photo that you've

uploaded. On the right hand corner of the photo, on top you should

see an icon that says ORIGINAL SIZE. Click on this. It will produce

and original size of the photo. Once this appears you'll find

another icon that says DELETE ONLY ORIGINAL SIZE PHOTO. Click on

this. And your done! Your smaller photo will be saved and ready for

yours and everyone's viewing!

Hope this is clear enough:-)

Well Sara - The technical person here at Kinko's helped me scan the

picture onto a floppy disk, but when we tried to upload it, it

wouldn't go - he says that Kinko's has blocks on alot of websites.

So, I will ask my nextdoor neighbors this weekend if they would help

me, using their computer, to upload it to the site. The pictures show

me pre-braces; wow, am I really THIS ugly? Yuck!! Well, at least the

picture has been scanned onto a floppy disk. Thanks for your help. ~~
